The Futsal Malta Association national championship is set to resume on June 16, the local governing body announced yesterday.
The national championships were stopped earlier this year due to a rise in COVID-19 cases. The authorities’ decision to introduce a Legal Notice that banned organised sport further delayed this year’s competition.
However, the FMA remained defiant in trying to complete the season and their patience was rewarded when the authorities announced that sport could resume next month.
“The Futsal Malta Association has issued today the fixtures for the remaining futsal League competitive matches,” the FMA said in a statement.
“The league will resume on June 16 leading to the Elite Championship Final which will be played on June 25. The Futsal Champion will participate in the draws of the upcoming UEFA Futsal Champions League on July 7.
“The Amateur plays-offs will be played in the first week of July.”
The opening programme, scheduled for Wednesday, June 16, sees Ta’ Xbiex FC facing University at the De La Salle College while on the same night Luxol St Andrews play Swieqi United FC at the National Sports School.
