"The international match had been approved by FIFA, UEFA and the Asian Football Confed- eration, which have all sought to intervene to unblock the impasse without success," a state- ment by the MFA read. Since the UEFA Nations League D is composed of two groups of three, in its other available matchday Malta had to play a non-European na- tional team that was not engaged in competitive fixtures. The National Team has adjusted its programme of the coming days in order to prepare in the best way possible in view of the crucial UEFA Nations League match on Sunday against Moldova. Meanwhile, spectators who had already pur- chased their tickets for the match on Thursday may opt to either be refunded or to exchange the ticket with another for the match against Moldo- va on Sunday. Any queries should be addressed to tickets@mfa.com.mt. The association also thanked the Foreign Af- fairs Ministry for its assistance through diplo- matic channels throughout the process.
