Second season in Division 3 launched with MAFA draws

The new Malta Amateur Football Association (MAFA) season was launched on Tuesday after the association drew all of the competition openers during a live stream on Facebook.

The 2024-25 season, the second consecutive campaign which sees Naxxar Victorians in Division Three pits the team against rivals Mosta Vikings and three new clubs: Qajjenza ACJ, St Paul’s Bay NM FC, and Swieqi United AFC. 

The two clubs relegated from Division Two – Birkirkara St Joseph and Bugibba Club de SWAT – have not opted to take part this coming season, meaning that the division will remain that of five teams. First Division side Swieqi Braves have also opted out this season and so last season’s third-place team Kalkara Flames have been moved up to Division Two. 

From the Naxxar Victorians and www.naxxarvictorians.com teams, we wish the three promoted teams all the best for the coming season in a higher division.

Matchday 1

After last season’s disappointing campaign in Division Three, Naxxar Victorians will be hoping for a better run this year and will begin this fight in the latter part of September and will face debutants St. Paul’s Bay NM FC on September 28.

Last season, the boys finished in fourth place on 12 points as the boys won two matches out of their 12 played, achieving six draws in the process.

Full details of the league’s fixture list will be available soon…
