‭In‬‭ just‬‭ the‬‭ first‬‭ three‬‭ months,‬‭ Visit‬‭ Maldives‬‭ activated‬‭ a‬‭ wave‬‭ of‬‭ high-energy‬‭ campaigns‬‭ and‬ competitions‬‭ that‬‭ captured‬‭ attention‬‭ across‬‭ continents.‬‭ The‬‭ iconic‬‭ Liverpool‬‭ FC‬‭ brand‬‭ has‬ been‬‭ used‬‭ in‬‭ multiple‬‭ activations‬‭ — from‬‭ eye-catching‬‭ London‬‭ Underground‬‭ campaigns‬‭ to‬ the‬‭ Arabian‬‭ Travel‬‭ Market‬‭ (ATM)‬‭ in‬‭ Dubai‬‭ and‬‭ the‬‭ Kazakhstan‬‭ International‬‭ Exhibition,‬ where the Maldives-LFC backdrop drew significant attention.‬

‭Branding‬‭ extended‬‭ to‬‭ London‬‭ double-decker‬‭ buses,‬‭ over‬‭ 200‬‭ Dubai‬‭ taxis,‬‭ and‬‭ even‬‭ the‬ main‬‭ entrance‬‭ of‬‭ ATM‬‭ Dubai‬‭ — featuring‬‭ Liverpool‬‭ FC’s‬‭ signature‬‭ red‬‭ alongside‬‭ the‬ distinctive blues of the Maldives.‬

‭Record-breaking‬‭ engagement‬‭ on‬‭ the‬‭ myLFC‬‭ app‬‭ banners‬‭ and‬‭ web‬‭ placements‬‭ generated‬ unprecedented‬‭ buzz‬‭ and‬‭ excitement.‬‭ At‬‭ the‬‭ moment‬‭ of‬‭ Mo‬‭ Salah’s‬‭ record-breaking‬‭ Premier‬ League‬‭ goal,‬‭ Visit‬‭ Maldives‬‭ lit‬‭ up‬‭ the‬‭ LED‬‭ boards‬‭ at‬‭ Anfield‬‭ Stadium‬‭ — reaching‬‭ millions‬‭ of‬ viewers live and online.‬

‭Passionate Liverpool supporters have been engaged through fan club activities and live touchpoints — including a dream holiday giveaway to Villa Nautica, with over 20,000 entries. Branding inside Anfield Stadium through premium LED banners ensures the Maldives is visible to fans at every home game, maintaining a strong presence throughout the season.

Back home, the partnership was brought to the Maldivian public — with teaser billboards across Malé and Velana International Airport, emphasising that this initiative extends beyond tourism promotion, serving as a celebration of football, pride, and national identity.

An LFC Fan Zone was also launched — featuring a standout event at the Maldives Food Carnival with Liverpool legend Dirk Kuyt in attendance, uniting fans and families under the shared passion of football.
