Sep 24 2024 Share

The Public Works Department has completed a vital maintenance project at the Nigret Sisters’ Institute in Żurrieq, a project highly valued by both the Sisters and their beneficiaries.
During a site visit, Parliamentary Secretary for Public Works, Omar Farrugia, emphasised that this project demonstrates the government’s commitment to supporting social groups that play a crucial role in Maltese society.

“The maintenance work at the Institute is essential in ensuring the sustainability of the Sisters’ services,” Farrugia stated. He also noted that the upgrades improve health and safety for residents and those benefiting from the Sisters’ vocational work.

This project is part of a broader initiative involving culturally and historically significant buildings across Malta. Secretary Farrugia highlighted ongoing works, including restoring St. Mark’s Church bell tower in Rabat, paving and lighting at De Rohan Arch in Ħaż-Żebbuġ, and improvements at St. Nicholas Church in Siġġiewi.

Żurrieq Archpriest Fr Daniel Cardona praised the efforts, while Żurrieq Mayor Rita Grima accompanied Farrugia on the visit.

North Korea Win Their 3rd FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup

North Korea Win Their 3rd FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup
Sep 24 2024 Share

North Korea secured their third FIFA Under-20 Women’s World Cup title with a 1-0 victory over Japan in Bogota, equalling the record held by Germany and the United States.

Choe Il-son’s 15th-minute goal sealed the win, marking a perfect tournament for North Korea, who won every match. Choe, a 17-year-old forward, finished as the tournament’s top scorer with six goals, earning both the Golden Boot and Golden Ball awards for best player.

The North Korean team, captained by Chae Un-yong, navigated a challenging path to victory, defeating strong teams like Argentina, the Netherlands, Brazil, and the United States before facing Japan in the final.

Their triumph is particularly remarkable given the country’s recent absence from international competition due to the pandemic. Returning to play in 2023, North Korea also won the Asian Cup earlier in the year, defeating Japan 2-1.

Coach Ri Song-ho praised his team’s attacking speed and discipline. Unlike the men’s team, ranked 111th globally, North Korea’s women are a dominant force, currently ranked ninth in the world. However, most of their “home” games are played abroad due to North Korea’s limited international connections and diplomatic challenges.
