Mohamed Tholal appointed as Commissioner of Sports

President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu has appointed Mohamed Tholal as the Commissioner of Sports.

Tholal was appointed as the Commissioner of Sports at the ministerial level.

He was appointed to the position, during a special ceremony held at the President's Office, on Tuesday.

Tholal was serving his second term in office as the President of the Athletic Association, and resigned to take over as Commissioner of Sports.

Tholal also serves as the vice-president of the Maldives Olympic Committee. Since resignation from the post is not required by the Maldivian constitution, he did not resign from his position after being appointed as the Commissioner of Sports.

Tholal is also the Secretary General of the Progressive Party of the Maldives.

The position of Commissioner of Sports was vacant upon the inauguration of the new administration. Since the last the administration's appointment of Heena Ahmed Saleem to the position, no one has been named to take her place in office, after her term expired.

The previous appointees for the position were made at the level of Deputy Ministers.

The position of Sports Commissioner is appointed under the Sports Act passed in 2015. The Office of the Sports Commissioner oversees all sports associations and sports clubs of the Maldives.
