Adilson Maringa commits future to Valletta after cup‑winning season

Valletta FC have confirmed that Adilson Maringa will remain with the club for the 2026/27 season, securing the services of one of their most influential performers from last year’s campaign. The Brazilian goalkeeper played a pivotal role in Valletta’s success, helping the Citizens lift both the FA Trophy and the Jubilee Cup, while also guiding the team back into UEFA competitions.

Maringa’s consistency, leadership and presence between the posts were defining factors in Valletta’s strong finish to the season. His big saves in crucial moments, calmness under pressure and ability to organise the defence made him a cornerstone of the squad’s progress.

The club described him as a “safe pair of hands” and a “familiar face” whose professionalism and character reflect the standards Valletta want to carry into the new campaign. Retaining Maringa ensures stability as the Citizens prepare for the challenges of European football and a competitive domestic season.

For supporters, his decision to stay is a reassuring sign of continuity. For the squad, it reinforces the belief that the foundations of last season’s cup success remain firmly in place.
