Tony Cassar Sports Ground
Tarxien, Malta
The Tony Cassar Sports Ground in Tarxien is a small, local community venue that sits quietly at the intersection of two streets. The club, Tarxien Rainbows F.C., built the stadium itself before opening it in May 2006, naming the ground after their long-serving chairman, Anthony Cassar.
The playing surface is artificial turf, maintaining a consistent look regardless of the weather. Floodlights are installed, allowing for evening fixtures in the Maltese Challenge League.
The capacity is a matter of conflicting records. While some sources list the ground at 500 places, the majority settle on the higher figure of 1,000. Whether the capacity was officially increased or if the discrepancy lies in the calculation of seated versus general admission spots remains unclear. The club has played its matches here since the ground opened, though before 2006 they utilised other venues, including the Hibernians Ground.
The address is generally cited as the corner of Triq San Frangisk and Triq Pietro Gagliardi. There is no official website for the ground or the club today. The stadium has hosted regular domestic league matches, including fixtures against established clubs like Ħamrun Spartans, but it remains a quiet corner of Maltese football without a history of major non-sporting events.
