Malta FA And Youth FA Organise Football Fun Festival At National Stadium

On Sunday morning, children representing 21 local football nurseries enjoyed the unique opportunity to play at the National Stadium during the Football Fun Festival organised by the Malta FA and the Youth FA.

The festival featured a series of 20-minute matches, giving young players the chance to have fun, enjoy a memorable experience and showcase their talent on the same pitch that has hosted Malta National Team fixtures and several high-profile domestic matches.

At the end of the festival, participating nurseries were presented with commemorative tokens by Malta FA Senior Vice President Dr Matthew Paris and Youth FA General Secretary Stephanie Rocco.

Reflecting on the event, Dr Paris remarked that "this is the second edition of what will become a marquee event for the Malta FA. Having children play on the green grass of Ta’ Qali is more than an experience, it is a strategic investment in grassroots football that we are committed to nurturing and maximising,” highlighting the association's long-term vision.

Ms Rocco stated that "events like these are at the heart of our mission, providing a fun and inclusive environment where young players can develop, enjoy football, and create lasting memories.”

The event formed part of the Malta FA and Youth FA’s continued commitment towards promoting grassroots football and encouraging participation among young players.
