Malta Under-21 National Team Coach Davide Mazzotta has named a 24-player final squad ahead of the upcoming matches in the UEFA European U21 Championship Qualifiers.

The Malta U21 National Team will have two matches on foreign soil in the coming days, first against Greece, and then against Georgia, as it continues its UEFA Euro U21 Qualifying campaign.

Malta will first be taking on Greece in their sixth game of the qualifying campaign, taking on the team that is currently top of Group F. The encounter will take place on Friday 27th March 2026, kicking off at 17:00hrs (CET) at the Municipal Stadium of Livadia, Greece. The match will be broadcast live on TVMSport+.

Following that, Malta will be travelling to Georgia for another away match, this time on Tuesday 31st March 2026. The kick-off for the match will be at 16:00hrs (CET) at the Ramaz Shengelia Stadium in Kutaisi, Georgia. That match will be broadcast live on TVMSport.mt.

The matches against Greece and Georgia present Mazzotta’s side with an opportunity to continue their development and to test themselves against top opposition.

Mazzotta had initially named a 31-player provisional squad, but he has now trimmed the squad down to 24 players. Some of the notable additions to the Malta U21 final squad include James Sissons and Shaisen Attard, who had initially been called up to the provisional squad of the Malta National ‘A’ Team.
