Overview

Welcome to the city of 'peace'

Sliema may first appear as a vibrant Mediterranean coastal town on the island of Malta, known for its seafront cafés, historic streets and stunning views across the harbour. But behind this compact urban setting lies something far more surprising. What can a compact Mediterranean coastal town teach you about sport, wellbeing and active communities? Join the ESWAM from October 5 – 7 for a visit to Malta at the invitation of the Sliema Local Council. Sliema surprises in unexpected ways: football on the roof of a shopping centre, a boulevard transformed into an open-air wellbeing space, historic Roman Baths connected to modern healthy living and innovative sports facilities woven into a dense urban environment.

16:30"Football up in the sky"
One of the most fascinating and unique developments we will explore is how Malta has introduced new legislation allowing sports clubs to commercially develop parts of their facilities in order to become more financially self-sufficient. A striking example is the Sliema Wanderers project at Tigné Point, where indoor football pitches were transformed into retail and office space, while new sports facilities were relocated to the rooftop, creating the remarkable concept of football above a shopping centre. The idea reflects a broader urban challenge that many cities face today: how do you create sustainable sports infrastructure when space is limited and cities continue to densify?
