TC Sports Club and Club Green Street have both endorsed the re-election of the current President of Football Association Maldives (FAM) Bassam Adeel Jaleel.

President of FAM, Bassam Jaleel announced via Twitter on Tuesday that the motion he had submitted to FAM's executive committee to prepone the elections has been approved. Therefore, the committee has decided to hold elections within the upcoming 45 days, said Bassam.

Since the announcement, a total of three first division football clubs have endorsed Bassam's re-election for a second term. They are TC Sports Club, Club Green Street, and Maziya Sports and Recreation Club (Maziya S&RC).

As such, Bassam's term as president of FAM ends on November 20th, 2020. In the past, Bassam stated that the election can be held at any time. Nevertheless, FAM's rules and regulations state that the election must be held before November 20th.

Bassam was elected president of FAM in November 2016 after contesting for the position against former football star, Ahmed Thoriq (Tom).
