Boċċi Experience
Malta's Favourite Sport
Meet the Players
Matthew Busuttil
If you want to feel truly Maltese, playing boċċi is a good place to start. Matthew is the owner of the Għaxaq Boċċi Club making sure players, both new and seasoned, can play the traditional sport. Boċċi animates the whole Island from May to October with its numerous competitions with players competing to be the next local champion.
It is not the competitiveness that makes boċċi special though, it is the spirit surrounding the game providing a place for locals to come and play and laugh together. This sport forms the basis of many communities and is a loved tradition in Malta
