Sports Direct is famous for its huge range of sportswear, trainers and equipment all under one roof, often at prices that are much friendlier than the high street. Expect to see global favourites like Nike, Puma, Under Armour and Asics, plus plenty of comfy everyday clothing perfect for sightseeing or relaxing by the sea.

This opening follows an announcement back in October 2023 when Hudson Malta shared plans to bring Sports Direct and other Frasers Group brands to the islands. Since then, locals and visitors have been waiting for the big day. Now, thanks to Sports Direct Malta’s updates on social media, we finally have the official date.

So why might tourists care? Well, instead of packing extra luggage or worrying about missing items, now you can simply get your sporty essentials right here in Malta. Whether you forgot your swimming shorts, need new trainers for walking around Valletta, or fancy a lightweight jacket for breezy evenings by the sea, Sports Direct has you covered. It’s also great if the Maltese sunshine inspires you to get active; you might pick up a yoga mat for beach stretches, a snorkel set for exploring Gozo, or just some comfortable flip-flops.

And if you already know and love Sports Direct from back home, you’ll feel right at home browsing familiar brands and seasonal offers. It’s like bringing a bit of the UK shopping experience to your holiday.

So mark your calendar for Thursday, July 31, and pop over to Qormi. Whether you’re chasing fitness goals, updating your holiday wardrobe or just fancy a great bargain, Malta’s first Sports Direct is ready to help you find what you need, right here on the island.
