Festival Area: Be a Champ

Organisation Description

The University of Malta Futsal Team was founded in 2014, as a joint initiative of the Malta University Sports Club (MUSC), the University Student Council (KSU), and MFA member club Mdina Knights Football Club. .

Since becoming autonomous, UM Futsal has achieved staggering results both on and off the pitch during these past two seasons. During the 2016/2017 season the Team reached Elite status (thus placing within the top 5 Maltese Futsal Clubs) and during the 2017/2018 season reaching the semi-final of the First Division and being crowned Knockout Cup Champions. These results saw a number of Maltese players being nominated for the prestigious MFPA and MFA Awards and being repeatedly called up with the National Team. The organisation has also established the first-ever e-sports team on campus named UM Knights with the aim of offering students a platform to develop and compete in various games in the e-sports industry.
