Malta in FIFA World Cup 2012 Futsal Preliminary Tournament

As from 20th October Malta will be taking part in the Preliminary Round of the FIFA World Cup 2012 Futsal Tournament which will be held in Tbilisi, Georgia. The Malta team, under coach Vic Hermans will be playing in Group A, which also comprises Georgia, the host country, Armenia and Moldova.      The team is due to play against Moldova on Thursday, and will be in action the following day, 21st October when they face Georgia. On Sunday they will come up against Armenia thus concluding a taxing four-day series of matches which should prove to be yet another gauge as to the levels our national side has reached. The group will be leaving for Georgia via Munich tomorrow Tuesday and will return via the same route on Sunday 24th October. The coach and his assistants Bert Kessen and Kevin Mifsud have the following squad at their disposal: Goalkeepers MIFSUD Matthew                               -   Naxxar MotorsVASSALLO Bjorn                               -   Paola Down Town Defenders / Forwards BARTOLO Kurt                                   -   TodosBRINCAT Daniel                               -   TodosCUTAJAR John                                  -   Paola Down TownFRENDO George                              -   Paola Down TownGERA Dean                                        -   Sliema BilbaoMANGION Andy                                  -   TodosMAGRI OVEREND Jonathan           -   Paola Down TownMICALLEF Jesmond                        -   White EaglesSALIBA Xavier                          -  Paola Down TownSCICLUNA Carlo                      -  ZC Excess RP BidnijaSCIBERRRAS Cedric               -  Paola Down TownSPITERI Michael                      -  Hamrun Spartans
