University of Malta Students’ Futsal Team
Feeling the need for a sports team to unite and represent University students on a national level, a concept which had yet never come to fruition on Campus, the Kunsill Studenti Universitarji (KSU) have successfully transformed their desire to create a formal structure where University students can hone their athletic talents; into a solid certainty. Bringing on board the Malta University Sports Club (MUSC), the two University organizations have partnered into creating an outlet where students can enjoy themselves in a competitive yet friendly atmosphere. In order to be able to compete in an official league; it was necessary to seek a collaboration with a Football Club being a member of the Malta Football Association. Historical ties with the University of Malta, and a professional environment and set up led to MUSC and KSU seeking and obtaining the aforementioned affiliation with established outfit Mdina Knights Football Club (MKFC). The club functions on a completely amateur basis, with players from diverse social backgrounds and sportive experiences fitting in perfectly in our tightly knit squad. In the first year competing in the FMA 1st Division, the University Futsal Team registered a respectable 6th place finish, a rank away from obtaining a Playoff finish. This was a remarkable achievement when one considers that the club was, is and always will be run completely by students for students. The aim for the coming season is to improve upon last year’s results in the court whilst ensuring long lasting financial stability outside of it. The latter aim is to be fulfilled in part by bolstering the team’s presence on campus through concerted efforts on its social media, and through various leisure events.
