On Wednesday 28th July 2010, the President of the Malta Football Association Dr. Joe Mifsud inaugurated the new artificial pitch at Kalkara FC's football ground. The project was financed by the MFA, UEFA's Hat-Trick Programme and Kalkara Football Club.
The inauguration was attended by the Hon. Chris Agius, Opposition's spokeman for Youths & Sports, the Hon Dr. Stephen Spiteri, Kalkara's Mayor Michael Cohen and Council Members, MFA's vice-presidents Ludovico Micallef and Dr. Peter Fenech, the committees of Kalkara FC and Kalkara St. Joseph Youth Nursery, players, sponsors and other distinguished guests.
The programme included the raising of a new club's flag by two children from the youth nursery, speeches and unveiling of a commemorative plaque by the presidents of Kalkara FC and the MFA, blessing of the pitch by Kalkara's archpriest Rev. Anton Galea Scannura, a football match between children from the youth nursery and a reception.
The celebrations will continue in the coming days with a thanksgiving mass and a football match between the present team of Kalkara FC and a team composed of players who played for Kalkara Utd FC in the past.
Works on the leveling of the pitch and laying of the artificial turf on a surface measuring 75 metres by 55 metres were completed in two months by 389 Ltd.
Other works completed recently were the installation of a new chain-link fence financed by the Kunsill Malti ghall-Isport, upgrading of the floodlighting system and other maintenance works through the collaboration of the Kalkara Local Council.
