Revival Sports Returns to BWF Tournaments with Landmark African Tour
Revival Sports Club has returned to international badminton after a suspension, thanks to a temporary exemption from the Badminton World Federation (BWF). The team begins a three-nation African tour competing in the Zambia International, Botswana International, and South Africa International. Six athletes, including Nibal Ahmed, Zayan Zaki, and the twin sisters Fathimath Nabaha (Naba) and Aminath Nabeeha (Naby), will compete in various categories. Head Coach Nashfan Mohamed stated the suspension reset rankings to zero, making this tour crucial for rebuilding. The club aims to reclaim rankings and win gold medals. In 2024, Revival achieved historic successes, including Naba defeating Naby for Maldives' first BWF singles gold at the Botswana International.
