Football

Another area, in which Malta and Vacations Malta can offer Excellent Quality and Services, is that of Football Training Camps.

Malta’s Winter is very mild indeed and apart from a few days – which are normally far between – one can safely say that this actually resembles a central European Spring, with temperatures varying between 15 and 20 degrees and very little rainfall.

Moreover during this period (normally January to April) our grass-pitches are in excellent condition.

Every year we do offer our services to several teams that decide to make use of these favourable situations. As usual, our excellent services and attention are second to none. In addition to this, we also make it a point to suggest the best and most professional training locations and pitches, to satisfy the highest expectations.

One such training facility is the MFA Technical Centre in Ta Qali. Apart from a huge training area– the size of ca 3 football pitches – this Technical Facility also offers, dressing rooms with showers etc, state of the art Gymnasium, swimming pool and ancillary services such as physiotherapy, restaurant etc.

Besides the normal training schedules, the MFA Technical Facility offers the possibility of friendly practice matches according to the team’s wishes.

Do ask for our ready-made Football Training Camp packages. Together with the training and match facilities, we also offer a variety of hotels in different categories and areas, which will surely accommodate the budget and requirements of all – from the most amateur to the most professional teams!

Each year we do offer our services to a host of small clubs, however we at Vacations Malta, are very proud to say that we have also been entrusted to handle – and may we say with Excellent results - FC Zurich (Swiss Professional First Division August 1999 UEFA Cup tie Match Vs Sliema Wanderers), the Danish National Football Team and Danish Under 21 Squad (March 2001 matches Vs Malta’s National Football Team and the Maltese Under 21 Squad World Cup 2002 qualifiers), Neuchatel Xamax (Swiss Professional First division Team Training Camp Summer 2003), FC Wintherthur (Swiss Professional Team Training Camp January 2006) and Austrian National Team (Training Camp January 2007).
