Malta National Hockey Team Set For Double Header Against Italy

The Malta Men’s National Hockey Team, coached by Chris Attard, will travel to Rome to play two friendly matches against Italy on the 29th and 30th of August.

The majority of Attard’s squad will be made up of the players who represented Malta in Finland during the EuroHockey second-tier competition, with Shamison Mifsud and Luke Bajada set to replace Marvin Grixti and Keith Calleja respectively due to player availability.

Following a five-week break, the Maltese players have resumed training up to four times a week as they prepare for these two matches.

Italy are currently ranked 26th in the world, with Malta at 77th. Despite the difference in rankings, coach Attard will use the matches as an opportunity for his players to gain valuable international experience and continue developing their skills at international level.
