Avani+ Fares Maldives Resort Welcomes Back Michael Owen’s Football Camp

Avani+ Fares Maldives Resort welcomes back football legend Michael Owen for the return of his highly anticipated football camp, following last year’s success. Building on strong demand and positive feedback, the 2026 camp marks the beginning of what is set to become a much-loved annual tradition at the resort.

The programme officially began with a vibrant family cocktail and mocktail evening, where young participants and their families had the opportunity to meet Michael Owen and his coaching team in a relaxed and welcoming setting. The event set an upbeat tone for the days ahead, creating excitement among the more than 30 children and teens enrolled in the camp.

Running from 30 March to 3 April 2026, the camp features a series of structured daily training sessions led by Owen himself, alongside experienced assistant coaches. Designed to be both educational and engaging, the sessions focus on developing key skill development and team challenges among participants.

Beyond football, the programme extends into a variety of off-pitch experiences tailored for kids, teens, and families. From interactive group activities to leisure experiences across the resort, guests are invited to enjoy a holistic stay that balances sport with relaxation and family bonding.

By hosting internationally recognised figures such as Michael Owen, Avani+ Fares Maldives Resort continues to enhance its family-friendly offerings, delivering unique experiences that go beyond the traditional holiday. The football camp not only provides young guests with professional-level training but also offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn from a football legend.
