The Malta Aquatic Sports Association (ASA), for the second time in history will be hosting the final four of the men’s waterpolo champions league, hosted at National Pool in Tal-Qroqq, between the 30th of May and the 1st of June.

During the launch the Minster for Education, sport, Youth, Research, and Innovation, Clifton Grima said, “The investment we have made and will continue to make in this sector has placed our country on the global sports map. This event is the second consecutive year that we have been able to bring it to Malta, and it is another positive result of the government’s work together with sports associations.”
The Minster also emphasised the importance in government commitment to supporting Maltese sport.
This championship, which began in 1963, features the top teams from across Europe and is the most prestigious competition for professional waterpolo professionals.
President of ASA, Karl Izzo, spoke about the preparations that have been made, including the creation of a sports village at the entrance of the National Pool to enhance the spectator experience.

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Tourism Ian Borg inaugurated Howard House in Rabat.
“Howard house is an example of how private investment can feasibly align with national priorities – preserving our architectural heritage while enriching our tourism offering. This project safeguards a piece of Rabat’s identity, while elevating Malta’s appeal to the discerning traveller. We are omitted to supporting such endeavours that celebrate our past while building a sustainable, high-quality future for Maltese tourism” Prime Minster said.
The townhouse was once the central post office of Rabat which had the original family owners living on the upper floor of the building.
The present property owner Mariella Scerri during the Deputy Prime Minister’s visit said, “This is not just about accommodation. Howard House represents a commitment to preserving Malta’s architectural identity – a labour of love to give back to the island I deeply care for.”
Parliamentary Secretary for Local Government, Alison Zerafa Civelli together with Mayor of Fgura, Clayton Portelli Cascun and the Director of Local councils, Marisa Pisani made this announcement.
