The Malta Men’s National Team will take on Eswatini in an international friendly on Thursday, 12 November, at the Ta’ Qali National Stadium, with kick-off scheduled for 18:30.

The fixture will provide Malta with an opportunity to continue preparations ahead of the final match of their UEFA Nations League campaign, while offering the technical staff the chance to assess the squad and fine-tune preparations for the important encounter that follows.

Malta will conclude their Nations League commitments on Monday, 16 November, when they travel to Gibraltar to face the hosts at the Europa Point Stadium. The match is scheduled to kick off at 20:45 and will bring Malta’s League D1 campaign to a close.

The friendly against Eswatini will therefore serve as an important test for the Maltese side before they turn their attention to the final competitive fixture of the international window.

Malta will be looking to build on their recent progress and finish their Nations League campaign on a positive note as they prepare for the challenges ahead.

Eswatini, formerly known as Swaziland, are currently ranked 164th. This year, they played two friendly matches, losing to Eritrea 2-0 away from home and 1-2 at home last March.
