This August, Siyam World Maldives is offering families a unique blend of luxury island life and world-class sports training, as three former Premier League footballers, Wayne Bridge, Kean Bryan, and Andrew Johnson — are set to lead a trio of elite five-day Football Residence Camps at the resort’s state-of-the-art World Sports Arena.
From 2025 August 1st to 5th, football fans will be welcomed by Wayne Bridge, the former England international and Premier League left-back renowned for his appearances with top clubs including Chelsea, Manchester City, and Southampton. With over 300 top-flight matches under his belt and experience in prestigious competitions such as the UEFA Champions League and the FA Cup, Bridge brings a wealth of professional insight to the pitch. His presence sets the tone for a high-caliber coaching experience.
Following him, from 2025 August 11th to 15th, Kean Bryan brings his sharp midfield acumen to the program. A technically gifted player, Bryan began his career at Manchester City and went on to feature for clubs like Sheffield United and West Bromwich Albion. Known for his youth-centric approach and strategic understanding of the game, Bryan’s sessions promise to be as educational as they are engaging.
From 2025 August 17th to 21st, families will have the chance to train with former England striker and Crystal Palace legend Andrew Johnson. Famous for his speed and goal-scoring instincts in the Premier League, Johnson’s dynamic coaching style focuses on attacking drills, finishing techniques, and building confidence in young players.
Each camp runs for five days and caters to children aged 5 to 12 years. The sessions are part of Siyam World’s exclusive Football Residences programme, a pioneering initiative that aims to nurture the next generation of footballers in an environment that combines elite sports training with the wonders of a tropical island retreat. The program is hosted at the resort’s World Sports Arena, a top-tier facility that offers children the opportunity to train like professionals while surrounded by natural beauty.
Siyam World, located on the 54-hectare Noonu Atoll island of Dhigurah, is one of the largest island resorts in the Maldives. It features a diverse range of 499 villas, suites, and residences across 21 accommodation categories — many with private pools and water slides. The resort is famed for its “unlimited fun” concept, including an all-inclusive WOW! Premium plan that covers gourmet dining across eight restaurants and bars, wellness treatments, adventure activities, and more.
Past editions of the Football Residences have attracted global icons such as Francesco Totti, Alessandro Del Piero, Rio Ferdinand, Owen Hargreaves, Daniel Agger, and Esteban Cambiasso, affirming Siyam World’s status as a premier destination for sports tourism in the Maldives. The August 2025 edition promises to continue this legacy, offering young players the rare opportunity to learn directly from legends of the game in a fun, safe, and supportive environment.
Spots for the Football Residence Camps are limited and expected to fill quickly. For families seeking a meaningful and memorable holiday that combines sports, adventure, and five-star hospitality, Siyam World offers an unmatched experience — where dreams of training with football legends meet the tranquility and luxury of the Maldives.
