Hibernians Ground
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hibernians Ground is a multi-use stadium in Paola, Malta. The Hibernians football ground was inaugurated on 9 November 1986. Hibs became the first Maltese club to have their own football pitch. Nonetheless, Hibernians play their league matches in the National Stadium in Ta’Qali, since all the Premier League matches are played there.
The ground is used by Hibernians for their everyday training sessions. It is also used by the Malta Football Association to host matches from the Maltese First Division. The Malta national rugby union team have recently started to use the ground for their international matches.
Hibs played their first European match on this pitch on the 23rd July 1996 when they played against Uralmash Ekateringburg in the Intertoto Cup, losing the match 2-1.
The stadium holds 1,500 people.
