The eagerly-awaited encounter between Malta and England is just over two months away. With the FIFA 2018 World Cup qualifying campaign entering a crucial phase, the September 1 match at the National Stadium has assumed added significance for England who lead Group F with 14 points, two ahead of Slovakia and three clear of Slovenia. As for the Maltese team, our players will surely be aiming to do the nation proud with a spirited performance as they look to collect their first point in Group F which also comprises Scotland and Lithuania. Around 2,000 Maltese fans were at Wembley Stadium on October 8, 2016 to watch Malta play England. First-half goals from Daniel Sturridge and Dele Alli gave the Three Lions a 2-0 victory in their fourth ever meeting with Malta. Amid the growing enthusiasm for the home qualifier against England, the sale of tickets for the September 1 match officially kicks off on Monday at noon.  MALTA vs ENGLAND – TICKET SALES INFO MATCH TICKET PRICES Ticket prices for this match are as follows:         ADULTS  -  MATCH TICKET SALES  West A & C StandsMillennium Stand – D and FSouth Stand  € 60€ 40€ 20        CHILDREN (Under 12)  -  MATCH TICKET SALES  West  A & C StandMillennium Stand – D and FSouth Stand  n/an/a€ 10                   Important Notes:             TICKET PRE-SALES  -  The pre-sale of tickets for the MALTA vs ENGLAND 2018 FIFA World Cup European Qualification Match will be available from a number of Retail Outlets as from Monday 26th June 2017. Ticket sales will remain open until matchday unless these are sold out prior to this date. LOCAL FANS  -  Local fans can purchase tickets for West C Stand, Millennium D & F Stands and the South Stand. ENGLISH FANS - Unless they can get hold of tickets directly from the English FA, visiting fans who would like to sit alongside other English fans can personally purchase tickets for West A Stand, from any of the outlets listed below, strictly on presentation of their passport as well as that of other person/s for whom they intend to purchase tickets.  This is in line with security measures requested by both local and UK Police for such requests to be scrutinised ahead of the match.
