Swieqi Braves Crowned MAFA Second Division Champions and Promoted to First Division!
13th May 2023
May 13, 2023, will forever be a historic date for the Swieqi Braves. On the pitch of Marsaxlokk Football Ground, the club played the final matchday of the MAFA League against Birkirkara Joseph Sports Club with one goal in mind: to win the game to claim the title and secure a second consecutive promotion to the First Division.
Fully aware of what was at stake, the Braves delivered when it mattered most. Determined from the first whistle, they quickly took control of the game, going into halftime with a 2-0 lead thanks to strong team play and clinical finishing. In the second half, they kept up the pressure and sealed a 3-0 victory, delighting their supporters with a long-awaited promotion.
This victory is a testament to the hard work, discipline, and unity of a tight-knit, multicultural team. Brazilians, French players, and others from diverse backgrounds turned their differences into collective strength. This cultural richness fueled the team spirit and gave the group a strong identity, both cohesive and ambitious.
Congratulations to all the players, the staff, and everyone who supported this incredible human and sporting journey. In less than two years, the Swieqi Braves have climbed two divisions and now take their place in MAFA’s First Division, ready to face new challenges at an even higher level.
