Premier League club Ħamrun Spartans inaugurated a new artificial turf pitch and floodlight system at their Victor Tedesco Stadium yesterday evening. Malta FA president Joe Mifsud unveiled a commemorative plaque in the presence of Ħamrun Spartans president Gaetano Cuschieri and other top club officials. The new synthetic pitch at the Tedesco Stadium is classified as FIFA 2-star and, in theory, can stage international matches. Prior to the inauguration ceremony, a friendly was played between Ħamrun Spartans and Marsaxlokk. The Spartans won the match 1-0 with Ryan Fenech netting the winner.
