Birkirkara Champions of Malta!

Birkirkara are the new kings of Maltese football, as today they have been declared as Champions of the BOV Premier League 2009-2010 season. This is the teams' third league title and seventeenth honour of its' sixty year history.

Message from the President

I would not be surprised if many of you would tell me that, like me, you are still breathless after our game against Hibs, last Sunday. It was a game of many different chapters. Our captain started by scoring a brilliant goal after which we had two great chances which might have closed the game, but which we unfortunately didn't capitalize on. Then Hibs scored four goals in quick succession after which many people had given up on us winning the game. However, when Sylvano Comvalius scored our second goal at the end of the first half my hopes, and probably those of many other people, went up. I believed that we could do it if our players found what was needed to improve on their first-half performance. Liverpool did it against AC Milan when trailing 3 - 0, so why couldn't we? And we did.

"We are the heart, you are the lungs"

We're just a few hours away from the game that can give us the reward for what we've been working for the whole season. It was June 2009 when I was honoured with the job of managing B'Kara FC. I knew it was going to be a transitional year for us, and we started working immediately on building a new structure and set-up for this Club.

Three points away from glory

Only Tarxien Rainbows stand in Birkirkara's road to clinch the third Premier League title, as today at the Ta'Qali National Stadium, both sides battle it out in a match that is expected to attract thousands of Birkirkara FC supporters to the stands. Some Valletta supporters are also expected to join forces with the Tarxien fans in the opposite side of the enclosure.

Points at stake for 'the Stripes'

With four decisive matches left, Birkirkara's next opponent in the fixtures sheet is Qormi, one of this year's surprise package teams.

Seven months into the league

In the first interviews that I gave after accepting to be President of the Club, I was asked what were my main objectives for this season. Without hesitating, I said that the two main objectives were that the Administration of the Club will manage the Club in a professional way making use of all the expertise that existed in the Committee members and that we will improve the team's standing in the League table on that of the previous season. This seemed a bit too ambitious for certain people, especially when one considered the presumed limitations of our squad. Seven months later I can state without any doubt that both objectives have already been met.

Vukanac extends his stay

Birkirkara FC has reached an agreement with one of Malta's most talented foreign players, Nikola Vukanac, to extend his contract for another season.
