Maltese Waterpolo Clubs Competing In European Competitions To Receive Valuable Financial Support
Local

Minister for Tourism Jo Etienne Abela has announced that for the first time, a financial investment will be provided to local waterpolo clubs competing in European competitions through an agreement between VisitMalta and the Aquatic Sports Association of Malta (ASA).

The local teams set to benefit from this initiative are the men's and women's teams of San Ġiljan Aquatic Sports Club, Sliema Aquatic Sports Club, Neptunes WPSC and the women's team of Sirens Aquatic Sports Club. The teams will feature the VisitMalta brand on their kits and will serve as sporting ambassadors for Malta.

Minister Jo Etienne Abela expressed that "I firmly believe that sport is also an important tool for promoting our country, as it provides Malta with international visibility and allows us to showcase our identity and values beyond our shores."

He further argued that "through this agreement, we are not only helping clubs reduce the costs associated with their participation, but also giving them the opportunity to represent Malta as ambassadors on the European sporting stage."

MTA Chief Executive Officer Carlo Micallef stated that "through the presence of the VisitMalta logo on the teams' kits, we are creating a tangible opportunity for Malta's brand to reach international audiences and further promote our country as a dynamic Mediterranean destination associated with sport and an active lifestyle."

He added that "we believe these clubs are important ambassadors for Malta beyond our shores, and we are therefore proud to support them on their journey across the European sporting scene."

ASA President Karl Izzo remarked that "this agreement will provide significant assistance to the clubs competing in European competitions, particularly as, for the first time, we have five teams participating at this level."

He thanked "the Government for the support it is providing to our clubs and look forward to seeing even more teams competing at this level in the coming years."
