Under 17 Youth Tournament

The event will coincide with the Easter period. Besides Malta the other countries taking part are Northern Ireland, Greece and Cyprus.

The event is part of the programme of preparation of our youth team which will be participating in the forthcoming Euro Championship of the category. The build-up is necessary so that as many players as possible are assessed within a bigger scale of international opposition.
