Malta will launch their Euro 2020 Group F qualifying commitments with two matches at the National Stadium in March 2019.

Faroe Islands will be Malta's first opponents on March 23 followed by the eagerly-awaited game, also at home, against European giants Spain three days later (March 26).

The fixture lists of all 10 groups was published by UEFA on Sunday night following the Euro 2020 qualifying draw held earlier in the day at The Convention Centre in Dublin. Malta has been drawn in Group F along with Spain, Sweden, Norway, Romania and Faroe Islands.

In October, Malta host Sweden on the 12th before travelling to the Faroe Islands with the match scheduled to take place on the 15th.
