Naxxar Victorians FC recently held its 2026 Annual General Meeting at the Railway Pub in Birkirkara, bringing together the club’s committee, coaching staff and players ahead of the start of the new season.
The meeting provided an opportunity to reflect on the club’s progress over the past year while outlining its plans for the 2026/27 campaign, both on and off the pitch.
Club President Karl Borg and General Secretary Jeremy Busuttil opened proceedings by thanking the players, coaching staff and committee members for their work throughout the summer, while applauding the commitment shown during pre-season.
The club also formally welcomed the Railway Pub as one of its main partners for the upcoming season.
As part of the partnership, the Birkirkara establishment, which hosted the AGM, will also serve as Naxxar Victorians’ clubhouse throughout the season, providing the club with a regular home away from the pitch.
The Railway Pub joins a growing group of businesses supporting Naxxar Victorians for the 2026/27 campaign, with sponsorship continuing to play an important role in helping the club improve its football setup and wider operations.
Continued growth across the club’s media platforms
Communications and Media Officer Kurt Aquilina provided an overview of the club’s media operations and the continued growth of Naxxar Victorians’ digital presence.
The club’s social media department has expanded during the summer with the addition of Isabelle Caro, with further growth being considered as Naxxar Victorians looks to provide more extensive coverage throughout the coming season.
Over the past campaign, the club recorded almost 60,000 post views on Facebook alongside more than 74,000 on Instagram, with the latter emerging as Naxxar Victorians’ strongest-performing social media platform.
The club also added more than 400 Facebook followers over the course of last season, while its largest audience on both platforms remains based in Naxxar and predominantly falls within the 25-34 age group, further strengthening the club’s connection with the local community.
Instagram will remain a particular area of focus during the new campaign following its strong performance throughout the previous season.
Attention has also been given to the club’s website, which continues to act as an important hub for Naxxar Victorians and the MAFA Second Division.
Work carried out during the summer has moved the site towards a more customised system designed to make data entry more efficient, while improvements to league standings, match reports and player statistics are also being introduced.
Building on and off the pitch
Financial Officer Matthew Gauci also provided members with an overview of the club’s financial position and preparations for the season, before Head Coach Connor Muchmore presented his plans for the sporting side of the club.
Muchmore outlined a clear philosophy for the upcoming campaign centred around player development, collective responsibility and continued growth throughout the club.
Under the guiding principle, “Minimum Expectation is Maximum Effort – Always”, the coaching staff will emphasise commitment, development and maintaining high standards both on and off the pitch.
The club has also continued strengthening its coaching structure, with the current setup consisting of a manager, two assistant coaches and goalkeeper coaching support, while further expansion remains part of the club’s plans.
The squad has already completed approximately two months of pre-season work, with friendly matches taking place on most weekends.
Muchmore highlighted the progress made compared with the same stage last season while stressing that further work remains ahead of the start of competitive action, particularly as the focus begins to shift towards tactical preparation.
Looking ahead
The AGM reflected the continued development of Naxxar Victorians as the club prepares for another season in the MAFA Second Division.
Alongside its preparations on the pitch, work continues across the coaching, media, sponsorship and administrative sides of the club as Naxxar Victorians look to strengthen their structures and presence within the local community.
The club would like to thank its committee members, coaching staff, players, partners and supporters for their continued contribution.
Naxxar Victorians would also once again like to thank the Railway Pub for its support and look forward to welcoming the club community to its new clubhouse throughout the upcoming season.
