The Malta Women’s National Team will bring their UEFA Women’s Nations League Group C2 campaign to a close on Tuesday evening when they face Andorra at the Nou Estadi in Encamp. Kick-off is scheduled for 19:00 CET, with live coverage on TVM Sport+.

This final fixture follows Malta’s historic promotion to League B, secured with a match to spare after a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Cyprus at the National Stadium in Ta’ Qali last Friday. The result, celebrated in front of a record crowd of 1,205 supporters, confirmed Malta’s top spot in Group C2 and capped off a remarkable campaign that saw the team recover strongly from an opening-day defeat in Cyprus with four consecutive wins.

Looking ahead to Tuesday’s encounter, head coach Manuela Tesse reaffirmed the team’s focus on maintaining their winning momentum, even with promotion already assured.

“Against Andorra, the team wants to win, to keep this positive momentum. There is the opportunity to rest some players who need to recover and do some player rotation, but ultimately, I have full confidence in the players who will play.”

Tesse is also firmly setting her sights on the next challenge, as Malta prepares for life in League B ahead of the UEFA European Qualifiers for the FIFA Women’s World Cup. The draw is scheduled for November, and the Italian coach is intent on carrying the same competitive mindset into the next phase of the team’s development.

“Our philosophy won’t change. We will continue to focus on our growth, play with resilience and stay united as we take on stronger and more established opponents in League B.”

Malta head into the final matchday with four wins from five games and a chance to close out the group stage with another statement performance. Tuesday’s game provides a valuable opportunity to rotate the squad while upholding the high standards set throughout this successful campaign.

Andorra, currently at the bottom of the group with four points, earned their only win of the campaign against Cyprus. They will be hoping to finish on a high note in front of their home fans.

With promotion in hand, Malta’s final outing in Group C2 is about finishing strong, building confidence, and setting the tone for the exciting challenges that lie ahead.
