Valletta FC Teams Up with Caritas Malta for Drug Rehab Awareness

Valletta FC and Fondazzjoni Caritas Malta have joined forces in a new partnership to raise awareness about drug rehabilitation and support those on the road to recovery. Announced by Anthony Gatt, Director of Caritas Malta, and Claudio Grech, President of Valletta FC, this initiative looks to blend the power of football with social impact.

By harnessing the club’s wide fanbase, the collaboration will tackle the stigma around addiction through fundraising events, community outreach, and educational programmes. Gatt highlighted the community’s role in supporting recovery, pointing out three key goals: raising funds for vital free services, promoting Caritas’s rehabilitation efforts in the sporting world, and showcasing football as a positive alternative to substance misuse.

Grech shared the idea behind the theme “Bounce Back,” emphasising the message of hope for those struggling with addiction. The partnership kicks off with the Bounce Back Caritas Cup on Saturday, 9th November, at Dingli Training Grounds, featuring Valletta FC, Gzira FC, and Lija Athletics FC, with all proceeds going to Caritas’s annual marathon. Additional programmes will highlight the role of sports in fostering recovery within Valletta FC’s Academy.
