The Malta Football Association Technical Centre's Grassroots & Women's Department, in collaboration with SportMalta and the Directorate for Quality and Standards in Education (DQSE), organised the second FIFA Live Your Goals Festival in Malta at the Centenary Stadium, as part of their mission to develop and nurture grassroots' level in women's football.

The event fully supported by FIFA was attended by 180 girls from Zebbug Primary School (St. Ignatius College), Msida Primary (St. Theresa College) and San Atnon School.  The enthusiastic girls were guided through a fun coaching event by MFA coaches, members of the Malta national women's football team including FIFA Live Your Goals Ambassador Charlene Zammit.

Nutritionist and Physiotherapist Johann Zarb, a representative of Dar Kenn Ghal Sahhtek, a residential and semi residential facility aimed at providing a holistic treatment to patients with eating disorders and weight behavioural problems, addressed the girls though an interactive talk about healthy eating and exercise.  Dar Kenn Ghal Sahhtek also supplied the schools with nutrition information booklets.
