Malta’s women’s team will be engaged in yet another friendly, this time against Cyprus, in a match which will be played at the Paphiako Stadium in Paphos on Saturday.

The match will give the opportunity to coach Pierre Brincat to provide his units with ample playing time, with the possibility of being able to assess more thoroughly their potential at international level. It will also give the team the chance of extending their recent winning run and thus confirm their progress in these last two seasons.
