Football pitch in Gzira
Empire Stadium
Empire Stadium, also known as Gżira Stadium, was a prominent multi-purpose venue in Gzira, Malta, primarily famous for football matches. Opened in 1922, it once held up to 30,000 spectators and was where the Maltese national team played its inaugural international match in 1957. Although it hosted its last game in 1981, a visit remains significant, especially for football enthusiasts keen on the sport's local history. Notoriously, the sandy pitch was a distinctive feature, adding an unusual twist to the games played there.
