Bjorn Vassallo, the Malta FA President who was present for the draw, said: “It’s a historic draw but a very difficult group, everyone knows that, but Malta will have the opportunity to host very interesting matches which will motivate more supporters to flock our stadium.  “It will also be an experience for the Maltese players to play at renown stadia.  “I believe that this group will see Malta build on its recent successes and grow.” Vassallo said.
