In 2021, the name Haley Bugeja has been solidified as a rising football star in the international scene and a stellar ambassador to Malta in Italy, but the young football player continues to make waves after having her talents recognised by FIFA themselves.
The 16-year-old’s rise to fame was analogised as ‘the emergence of a real gem’ in her FIFA feature, where they highlighted her ground-breaking debut with Sassuolo amongst other notable appearances in the Serie A.
