At Lets Go Maldives, we are delighted to highlight one of the most anticipated family experiences returning to the Maldives next summer. Kuramathi Maldives, available exclusively through Kuoni in the UK, has announced the comeback of the Campioni Soccer Academy-a two-week programme that blends world-class coaching with the natural beauty and energy of island life.
Set on Kuramathi’s pristine pitch-and surrounded by the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean-Campioni offers young players aged 4 to 16 the chance to train with football legends in an unforgettable tropical setting.
Two Weeks Led by Iconic Football Talent
This year’s lineup brings back some of the sport’s best-known names:
- Week One (27 July – 1 August 2026): Led by Stuart Pearce MBE and Adrian Whitbread
- Week Two (3 – 8 August 2026): Led by Wes Brown and Adrian Whitbread
Families are welcomed with a beachfront reception, complete with training kit collection and the chance to meet the pros in classic island style. From Monday to Saturday, children take part in daily sessions focused on skill-building, teamwork, strategy, and confidence. Each session is hands-on, personal, and designed to inspire children of all levels.
Stuart Pearce MBE shared:
“Campioni isn’t just about learning new football skills; it’s about inspiring young minds to dream big and work hard.”
Wes Brown added:
“Seeing kids improve through the week is always what I enjoy most. Kuramathi feels like the perfect destination for families.”
Supporting Young Maldivian Talent
Following the success of 2025-when local academies from Thoddoo and Rasdhoo joined a special session with John Barnes MBE-Kuramathi and Campioni will again extend this opportunity to young Maldivian players in 2026. The collaboration offers unmatched exposure, growth, and inspiration for the next generation of local athletes.
