The University of Malta Futsal Team has reached the Enemed Futsal Premier League Semi-Final playoffs for the second time in their history with their first time being back in March 2020. However, it is worth noting that the first time they reached the playoff it was canceled due to the COVID 19 pandemic.
In the road to the playoffs, the team managed to beat Mellieha Futsal (8 – 2) and obtain two crucial draws against Valletta Futsal ( 5 – 5) and Ta’ Xbiex Futsal (3 – 3) in order to achieve a third-place finish in the Premier League.
The other teams that have managed to reach this point alongside UM Futsal are: Valletta Futsal, Luxol ST.Andrews Futsal, and Ta’ Xbiex Futsal.
UM Futsal will be facing Valletta Futsal in the Semi-finals on Friday 22nd April and Friday 29th April with both matches starting at 20:45 hrs at the National Sport School, Pembroke. For further information click here.
The achievement obtained by our squad is short of phenomenal with many young players managing to achieve this accomplishment. Our initial target was always to sustainably achieve a top-three finish whilst developing our young squad. The team is now fully focused on our semi-final clash and relish the challenge we have in front of us to try and reach the finals. We also would like to call out all students to attend the matches and give our boys all the support needed in the upcoming games
