Early Touch Football Academy (ETFA) is getting ready for an international tournament that is being organised by Hulhumale Sports School. This is the first international tournament for young players in Maldives. The tournament is eligible for players born after or on 1st January 2004.

Giving information to Boalha, ETFA coach Heena said most of the students in the team are from the u-12 team that went to Malaysia this year. They are also giving some slots to students who are not in the academy. Heena said that right now 25 players are practicing for the tournament and the finalized team will have 15 players.

When asked what is their target for the tournament Heena replied that they want to prove that their team has a good standard of playing rather than targeting to win the tournament. He believes since ETFA has been here for a long time they can show a better performance and good game playing.
