Sobah: Maldives Women’s Football Needs Time, Structure and Competitive Exposure
Maldives women's national football team head coach Sobah Mohamed said the team showed encouraging progress despite losing 11-0 to India and 4-2 to Bangladesh in the SAFF Women's Championship in Goa, India. He cited a 28-day preparation window, the absence of a first-choice goalkeeper, travel delays and a lack of professional league and competitive exposure, and called for long-term development and investment in women's football.

One outlet so far Only Adhadhu (English) has reported this among the sources we monitor. A gap in what we monitor, not proof that others did not report it.
Who said what
the reports' own quoted words, each once
If we could have come to India three days earlier and with our number one goalkeeper, we could have done something differently.
Compared to India and Bangladesh, we are not professional. We don’t even have a professional league. Most of these girls come from futsal backgrounds, and usually when a tournament is hosted, we gather and participate.
Nothing to compare yet. If another monitored source reports it, its headline appears beside this one.
