Tell us briefly the history of your club/team?

Pieta' Hotspurs F.C. Youth Nursery since in 1987 & affiliated with the Malta Youth F.A in 1988. Pieta Hotspurs FC Youth Nursery is considered by many as one of the best on the Maltese Islands. Led by good technical staff the aim of our nursery is to introduce children of all ages to game of football in a supportive and fun environment while encouraging them to learn basic football skills and be self disciplined.

Each category section takes part in annual official national leagues organized by the Malta Football Association, tournaments and friendly's. Although winning trophies has never been on the main agenda of the nursery's committee, the lavish amount of them in our showcases spells out successful years of administration and football competition. Yet, not withstanding all this, we seek our true success in the number of players who will make it to our first team squad, national & international football scene and most of all to character formation of each individual.
