Chelsea’s Visit Malta Weekender Kick Off This Weekend

Chelsea’s VisitMalta Weekender kicks off this weekend at Stamford Bridge with two thrilling preseason matches; Bayer Leverkusen on Friday at 8pm, followed by a Sunday showdown with AC Milan at 4pm. These fixtures are crucial as Chelsea fine-tune tactics and build fitness ahead of the new campaign.

After winning their second FIFA World Cup tournament, Chelsea’s squad has returned from a short break, buzzing with energy despite their packed schedule. Head coach Enzo Maresca praised the team while also warning of the challenges posed by a tight turnaround and the intensity of last season. Unfortunately, an injury to Levi Colwill may cause him to miss the Premier League opener against Crystal Palace.

The coach expressed confidence in the club’s recent signings and highlighted young Brazilian talent Estevão Willian as one to watch. With a team of around 25 players, Maresca plans to manage minutes smartly across the two games.

More than just football, the VisitMalta Weekender celebrates international partnerships and culture. The event shines a spotlight on Malta as a vibrant, world-class travel destination, blending sport and tourism in a unique experience for fans and players alike.
