VisitMalta will support Maltese water polo clubs competing in Europe under a new agreement with the Aquatic Sports Association of Malta (ASA). Tourism Minister Jo Etienne Abela said each participating club will receive €10,000 to help cover participation costs.
The agreement covers five teams: San Ġiljan’s men’s and women’s teams, Sliema, Neptunes and Sirens’ women’s team. The teams will carry VisitMalta branding on their kits.
Abela said the funding would ease the financial burden on clubs and help promote Malta abroad. Malta Tourism Authority chief executive Carlo Micallef said the sponsorship would bring the VisitMalta brand to international sporting audiences.
ASA president Karl Izzo welcomed the agreement and said it was the first time five Maltese teams would compete at this level.
