Fondazzjoni Sport Birżebbuġa, founded between Birżebbuġa St Peter's FC and Birżebbuġa Windmill Football Nursery, was established more than two years ago with the aim of developing and running a new football ground in Birżebbuġa.

The plans to develop such a facility announced during the budget speech was good news to the Foundation and to the Birżebbuġa residents at large.

The Foundation had set the ball rolling by submitting an application to MEPA in early 2008. It is hoped that once the necessary development permits are approved, the project could then take off.
