Dec 5 2023

The Maltese Women’s National team are gearing up for a decisive match against Latvia, which could potentially see them becoming the first group in local history to finish first in a European tournament.

The team will be facing their opponents at the Centenary Stadium today at 16:00 and seek to acquire the necessary points and win to make football history.

Following a 0:0 draw against Moldova just days ago, the Maltese would be pushing the ball for local football further if luck is on their side tonight!

But that is not the only record they will have bagged, with Haley Bugeja being the top scorer out of any league with 8 goals in 4 games.
