Birkirkara Beach Soccer Wins Women's Championship on Penalties

Birkirkara Beach Soccer's women's team won the Women's Beach Soccer Championship for the first time under their name, defeating Sliema 8-7 in a penalty shootout in the final at Pretty Bay in Birżebbuġa. A shootout was needed to separate the two sides. The final was a close contest throughout.

Birkirkara and Sliema were locked together until the shootout decided it, with Birkirkara converting enough penalties to take the title 8-7. Player Shakira Bugeja described what the result meant: "This was a win that means a lot to us... " The quote reflects how hard-fought the title was across the tournament, not just in the final itself.

The championship was held at Bajja s-Sabiħa, known in English as Pretty Bay, on the southern coast of Birżebbuġa. The venue hosted what was, under the Birkirkara Beach Soccer name, a first Women's Beach Soccer Championship title for the club's women's side. mt.
