As part of the Malta Football Association programme of assisting member clubs and affiliated associations to improve their facilities, which was funded with a HatTrick contribution,[2] the Association's President Norman Darmanin Demajo, inaugurated a synthetic pitch at Siggiewi which will serve the locality's footballers, including the youths and youngsters in the nursery, in their development. The synthetic pitch was inaugurated during the 2010/2011 season.[3] Present for the ceremony were also Albert Pace, then president of Siggiewi F.C., Robert Musumeci, mayor of Siġġiewi, and Clyde Puli, Parliamentary Secretary of Youth and Sport.
