Malta FootballMeanwhile the Futsal national team, under the guidance of Michael Striz, will be hosting the Group 7 mini-tournament of the FIFA Futsal World Cup 2008 first qualifying round.
Taking part in the mini-tournament, which will be played at the Corradino Sports Pavilion between February 28 and March 2, are Albania, Greece and Slovenia.
Striz said UEFA's decision to cancel the preliminary rounds meant that Malta had to be drawn with very strong teams. He is in fact worried most about the games against Greece and Slovenia while he thinks Albania are more or less on the same level as the local side.
The national Futsal coach said the most important thing during this mini-tournament will be that of improving performance.
The programme of matches will be as follows:
28-Feb 17:00 Slovenia vs Albania; 19:00 Malta vs Greece
29-Feb 18:00 Malta vs Albania; 20:00 Greece vs Slovenia
02-Mar 18:00 Albania vs Greece; 20:00 Slovenia vs Malta
