Follow the Yellow Brick Road to the “World of Oz” this Easter 2026 – Football Legends at Siyam World

17 March, 2026

There's no place like home—unless home happens to be a private island in the Maldives, transformed into the technicolour dreamscape of Oz, with three international football legends waiting to coach your young stars on the pitch.

This Easter, Siyam World Maldives, part of Sun Siyam's Lifestyle Collection, is clicking its ruby slippers and inviting families on an extraordinary journey. From March 31st to April 17th, 2026, the resort will become the World of Oz . And while the Wizard may rely on smoke and mirrors, the trio of football icons arriving on island are very, very real.

Get ready to follow the Yellow Brick Road to an adventure where fantasy meets football, and where your family might just find they don't want to go home.

Three Football Legends. One Paradise Pitch.

For young football fans and aspiring players, this Easter represents the opportunity of a lifetime. Siyam World's pristine football pitch—part of one of the largest sports complexes in the Maldives —becomes the ultimate training ground under the guidance of three European football heavyweights :

Massimo Ambrosini Football Camp (2–4 April)

The AC Milan midfield legend brings his renowned leadership and tactical brilliance to paradise. Known for his intelligence on the ball and commanding presence, Ambrosini will coach young players in the art of midfield mastery, reading the game, and leading from the centre of the pitch.

Javier Saviola Football Camp (5–10 April)

“El Conejo” (The Rabbit) earned his nickname for lightning-fast movement and creative flair. The Argentine forward, famed for his clinical finishing and dazzling footwork during his stints with Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Benfica, will help young attackers unlock defences and find the back of the net with style.

Gary Cahill Football Camp (13–17 April)

England international and former Chelsea captain Gary Cahill brings defensive strength, positional awareness, and championship-winning experience. Young defenders (and attackers wanting to learn how to beat the best) will benefit from his insights into organisation, timing, and resilience.

These exclusive five-day camps offer intimate coaching sessions where children can sharpen their skills while soaking up the sun on one of the world's most beautiful islands . It's football fantasy meets island paradise.

Beyond the Pitch: Enter the World of Oz

But the magic doesn't stop at the final whistle. Throughout the Easter programme, Siyam World will transport guests over the rainbow into the World of Oz .

The journey begins with Dorothy's Arrival—a sunset gathering at Together Beach where emerald lights glow, music fills the tropical air, and the first clues of the Oz adventure begin to unfold. From there, families are invited to follow the Yellow Brick Road across the island, discovering surprises and enchanted encounters around every corner.

The highlight of the Easter calendar is the spectacular Journey to the Emerald City Stage Show. This immersive production features dazzling dance performances, breathtaking aerial artistry, mesmerising fire acts, and stunning visuals that bring the magic of Oz to life before your eyes.

Adventures for the Whole Family

Whether you're travelling with toddlers, teens, or simply young at heart, the World of Oz offers something for everyone:

• Wizard's Kidz Carnival – A wonderland packed with games, face painting, and playful characters that will delight younger guests .

• The Amazing Race – Wizard of Siyam Edition – Families can team up and race around the island in a series of fun challenges inspired by brains, heart, and courage. Think you have what it takes to reach the Emerald City first?

• SW 3K Easter Run – Add an extra splash of fun to your holiday with bubble tunnels, misty surprises, and plenty of laughter along this family-friendly course .

Why Siyam World is the Ultimate Family Football Escape

Siyam World isn't just another Maldivian resort—it's a destination designed for families who crave adventure, space, and the unexpected . Spanning one of the largest private islands in the country, the resort offers unparalleled freedom and a philosophy that luxury means creating unforgettable moments.

The Maldives' Largest Floating Water Park

When the kids need a break from the pitch, Siyam Water World awaits—the largest floating water park in the Indian Ocean. Featuring trampolines, slides, climbing walls, and obstacle courses, it's pure, unfiltered fun for all ages .

The Maldives' Only Horse Ranch

Experience the magic of horseback riding along a secluded Maldivian beach at sunrise—a memory your family will treasure forever .

World-Class Dining

With over 11 restaurants and seven bars included in the WOW! Premium All-Inclusive concept, your family can journey around the globe without leaving the island. From authentic Maldivian delicacies to Italian, Indian, Japanese, and the Maldives' only Spanish restaurant serving authentic Catalan flavours—every palate is catered for .

Kidz World & Family Entertainment

Younger guests are cared for at Kidz World, offering mindfulness activities and engaging learning experiences in a safe, supervised environment . Meanwhile, the resort's entertainment team keeps the energy high with live music, cultural shows, and themed beach parties.

The Football Escapes Difference

Siyam World has partnered with Football Escapes to deliver these world-class coaching experiences . It's not just about football—it's about combining unforgettable family experiences with extraordinary destinations.

Previous camps have featured legends like Rio Ferdinand, Michael Owen, Francesco Totti, and Theo Walcott . Families who've experienced these escapes speak of the magic that happens when world-class coaching meets quality time together—from the iconic Parents' Game where mums and dads lace up their boots alongside the legends, to FC25 Nights of knockout competitions and family challenges that create lasting bonds .
