Ta' Qali Centenary Stadium and Training Grounds
The Centenary Stadium, barely 200 metres away from National Stadium, is an important addition to the complex, with its all-weather FIFA-approved artificial turf, and the enhanced pitch and dressing room amenities adding to the quality of the place. The stadium building also houses a conference hall where the association’s council meetings, seminars and routine press conferences are held. A mini-pitch situated alongside the Centenary Stadium is another useful facility for the use of the youngsters.
The extensive grounds adjacent to the Centenary Stadium have a grass surface and are thus very convenient as a warm-up and training area. These grounds can be utilised throughout the year and also serve as the main base for teams visiting Malta for training camps. In recent years well-known clubs, including Juventus and Milan, as well as various national teams have had a taste of the stadium in Malta and were all praise for the excellent facilities and ideal climate they found.
