Feedback from Participant :
Comments from Musa Nashid, President of Maldives Badminton Association:
Continuing from 2016, with the support of Japan, we were able to successfully complete the improvement of the technical skills of the Maldives Badminton Association Women's Junior National Team, short-term study abroad in high school, and homestay. In particular, the experience of Japanese life and culture through homestay was a very meaningful experience for the human growth of young athletes. I would like to continue the development of badminton in the Maldives and exchanges with Japan. Thank you very much.
