England’s Football Team Are On Their Way To Malta
With just over 24 hours to go till the big showdown, England’s players have been snapped boarding their flight to Malta from Birmingham. The World Cup Qualifier match kicks off tomorrow, Friday 1st September at 8:45pm.
Despite strong support for the our team, it seems a lot of Maltese nationals are also excited to see some of their favourite star players on the island, with many asking about the time England’s plane arrives, and the location of the team’s hotel.
Earlier this week the match was shrouded in some controversy as questions were raised about ticket sales happening through the black market. Lovin Malta spoke to one such selller, who described the current situation as a “racket” – some Maltese people had bought a glut of tickets at the regular prices as soon as they were made available and are now making a tidy profit off them.
We’re looking forward to an exciting match, and as much as we’d love for the British players to enjoy their stay in Malta, we can’t help but hope the Maltese give them a run for their money on the pitch.
