Matthew Abela is a Maltese student in St Aloysius College Malta [] He was born on the 15th of March 1996 ( currently 13 years old ) Matthew is famous all around Malta and is an inspiration and a great idol to the Maltese people...

He is a major sports fanatic, being really great in football, basketball, handball and hockey. Although he loves sports and is really great at them, he despises athletics very much.

He once said " Sports is my Dream but Music is my Life " showing that although he loves sports a lot, he also enjoys relaxing and listening to music.

Although many think of him as a playboy, he has many times declared he isn't... He is a great friend to many, a main reason why he is so popular around Malta.

Matthew Abela is a professional basketball youngster and he first became famous in 2005 when he won the under 13 basketball championship of Malta with Loyola, and later repeated this feat in 2009 with Eurobasket under 15. He was not only the captain of Eurobasket but also their top scorer for the season, clinching their first ever trophy.That season proved to shine out a new basketball prodogy as Matthew Abela was called up to the maltese national team although he declined this offer.

2009 also proved a great year for Matthew in handball, he led his team to 1st in the Sac Fest of Malta, but although in the league he only captained his team to 4th place, he was voted best player in handball of the season, his first ever individual trophy.

Although great in handball and basketball, he has put football as his main sport. With the under 15's of Sliema Wanderers he played a part in Malta's first ever win in Europe of the under 15's, against Braga. Several teams were interested in him, but due to him being underage he was not allowed to sign a contract with anyone.

Matthew started a charity donation to wikipedia in 2008 where he raised 1000 euros, but even though he raised quite a sum, he was disappointed that he didn't raise more...
