May 1 2024 Share

20 years ago, on the 1st of May 2004, Malta, along with 9 other countries, joined the European Union in the largest ever enlargement of the union.

Malta was joined by Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia in their accession into the European Union.

A referendum on EU membership was held in Malta on March 8th 2003, with 54% voting in favour of joining.

The referendum also saw the highest turnout in an EU membership referendum – with a whopping 91% turnout – but also the lowest support for joining of any of the nine countries holding referendums to join.

May 1 2024 Share

Gozo Second Division Champions Victoria Hotspurs have made history as, as of next year they will become the first ever Gozitan team to play in the Maltese football league system.

The Hotspurs will start from the ground up and join Malta’s lowest division, the Amateur Division, after managing to gain MFA membership after their Gozitan Football Association membership expired last Friday.

This groundbreaking news came after the Gozitan team applied to the MFA to become a full member way back on the 2nd of October 2023.

The vote to let them in was very simple and straightforward as 41 teams voted in favour and 11 against.

It is reported that all of their fixtures will be held at Maltese stadiums rather then in Gozo.
