During the official MAFA draws held on Tuesday morning, Naxxar Victorians were drawn to start the coming MAFA Knockout in the Round of 16.
This will be the second consecutive time the club makes its start in the second round, with play to begin on January 11 2025.
This coming season, the boys will face the winner of the Preliminary Round fixture between Division One side San Giljan Saints and Division Two side Hal Far Titans.
Both opponents have faced the Victorians in the past with San Giljan making their MAFA debut during the 2017 season when Naxxar Victorians joined the association as well. Since then, the two sides have crossed swords on numerous occasions and a re-union with the Saints will be familiar with a number of present and former players of both clubs.
Meanwhile, were the tie to go in Hal Far’s favour, this would be a clash between sides that faced each other in the league last season with Hal Far being one of the three teams that achieved promotion to the second division. While it was Hamrun Amateurs that took the top spot, Hal Far finished second, with Kalkara Flames managing to climb up after Swieqi Braves opted out of the coming season in Division Two.
