An Unforgettable Experience for Families Football Escapes is set to make this December even more special with the announcement of a new ambassador—none other than Manchester United legend and former club captain, Nemanja Vidić.
Known for his leadership, defensive prowess, and sheer determination on the pitch, Vidić will be bringing his expertise to the breathtaking surroundings of Anantara Dhigu in the Maldives.
For families already familiar with Football Escapes, this is another incredible opportunity to experience world-class football coaching in a paradise setting. And for those yet to join us, this is your chance to give your children the ultimate football holiday—one where they train with one of the game’s all-time greats while the entire family enjoys a luxury escape.
A Football Experience Like No Other at Anantara Dhigu Set on its own private island, Anantara Dhigu is a haven of natural beauty, pristine beaches, and luxury accommodations. This December, it transforms into the ultimate football training ground, where young players can develop their skills under the guidance of top professionals while families relax in a setting that feels like a dream. Each day, children will take part in engaging training sessions led by UEFA-licensed coaches, with Vidić offering his unique insights and expertise.
Off the pitch, families can enjoy everything the resort has to offer—from overwater villas and world-class dining to water sports and wellness experiences. And of course, no Football Escapes holiday is complete without our famous Parents’ Match, where mums and dads get their own chance to shine.
A Message from Football Escapes Sam Hubert, Managing Director of Football Escapes, expressed his excitement about the addition of Vidić to the Football Escapes team:
“Having Nemanja join us for Football Escapes at Anantara Dhigu is a huge moment for us. He’s a footballing icon, a leader, and someone who knows exactly what it takes to be the best. For our young players, learning from him will be an unforgettable experience. The Maldives is already a spectacular destination, and this takes it to another level. We can’t wait for families to join us this December for what will be one of our best Football Escapes yet.”
Vidić himself is equally excited about stepping onto the training pitch in paradise:
“Football has given me so much, and I love being able to share my knowledge with young players. Football Escapes offers something truly special—it’s not just about improving skills, but about creating an experience that children and their families will always remember. I can’t wait to meet everyone in the Maldives and be part of this incredible programme.”
