The Malta U15 team currently competing in the Inaugural FIFA U15 World Cup and Festival in Baku, Azerbaijan, from the 22nd to the 30th of October, is set to face New Zealand in the quarter finals today at 11:45 (CET).

Malta beat Suriname 3-0 in the round of 32, after which the team beat São Tomé and Príncipe 6-0 in the the round of 16 to secure back to back world cup wins and book their place in the quarter finals of the competition.

The impressive results marked Malta’s first-ever victories at a FIFA World Cup tournament across all age categories, representing a significant milestone for Maltese football.

After a challenging opening group stage, which saw Malta finish bottom of Group Z with just one point from five matches, the youngsters responded magnificently in the Tier F knockout competition.

Victory would send Mazzotta’s team into the semi-finals against either Fiji or Nepal, offering another opportunity to extend their remarkable winning streak.
