History In The Making? Ħamrun On Brink Of European Group Stage Qualification

Ħamrun Spartans are just 90 minutes away from securing a historic qualification to the UEFA Conference League group stage.

After a 1-0 victory in the first leg at Ta’ Qali thanks to a crucial goal by Saliou Thioune, all they need tonight in Latvia is to avoid defeat at the LNK Sporta Parks Stadium.

Back in 2022, Ħamrun fell just short at this same stage against Partizan Belgrade. But this time, the dream is within touching distance.

Ħamrun are already in the record books this season after defeating Zalgiris in a dramatic 28-penalty shootout, the longest in UEFA Champions League qualifying history.

A win or draw tonight doesn’t just mean glory for Ħamrun it’s a massive moment for Maltese football as a whole, guaranteeing six European fixtures, with three to be played on home soil.
