They will now travel to Brazil where they will face representing teams from 40 different countries and an opportunity to meet the man himself!
Last weekend, around 20 teams took part in the Maltese qualifier at the Luxol Grounds. At first the teams found it a bit hard to adapt to the new rules, with no goalkeeper in the goal post, scoring in 1m mini goals and playing with less players every time their team conceded a goal.
The semi-finals included a very tight game against White Rocks FC, whilst Med Gods eliminated The Greats. In the final game, Banter Lads scored a total of 5 goals and eliminated all of Med Gods players in less than 10 minutes, taking the throne as Maltese champions of the first ever edition of Neymar Jr’s Five tournament.
