The sixth edition of the Malta Football Awards will
be held on June 9th at the Corinthia Palace - Attard. Details about the
gala event, which will carry once again the name of Melita Digital
Malta Football Awards, were revealed during a press conference which
was held on Wednesday.
These awards are made possible thanks
to a number of sponsors and partners. Bank of Valletta, Strand
Electronics, Malta Tourism Authority, Audi and IFS International joined
a number of sponsors which have been supporting the event for the past
years namely Melita Digital, Vodafone, Powerade, AV Plus, TeamSport,
XFM, Kunsill Malti ghall-Isport and Corinthia Palace.
The
chairperson of the organising committee of the Melita Digital Malta
Football Awards, Sandro Micallef, said that the awards which have now
become synonymous with the gala event will be presented once again but
in order to keep with the tradition of introducing one or more new
awards in every edition, Events Services launched another award - the
Best Support according to the general public.
The
organisers renewed the agreement with General Soft Drinks thanks to
which the company is sponsoring another award through Powerade. The
Powerade Outstanding Player Award is being launched in collaboration
with the programme MFA Magazine which is broadcast on Smash Television.
The general public votes for their favourite players by sending an sms
to 50614097. The three players who are currently leading the poll are
Kevin Sammut, Saviour Darmanin and Justin Haber.
Voting for this award will continue up to fifteen minutes from the end of the gala event and the result will
be announced on the night.

the goalkeeper for one year.
Once again voting for the awards concerning the Premier League are thirty journalists who cover the BOV
Premier League, the ten club presidents, the ten coaches and the ten team captains.
Voting
for the Best First Division Player, besides journalists, are the

The same procedure will be used for the Best Onvol GFA First Division

The Best Support Award depends entirely on the votes by the general public. Voting on sms number 50614914 has just started.

Corinthia
Palace Hotel general manager Mr Italo Rota said he was proud that
Events Services once again chose his hotel as the venue for the event.
He wished the organisers an even bigger success than it was last year.
MFA
vice-president Mr John Farrugia said the association supported such
events as it encourages players to do better. Farrugia praised the fact
that not only Premier League players are being presented with awards
but also players in Division 1, the Futsal League, Women's League and
the First Division in Gozo, making this even a complete one as it
caters for the whole football family. He concluded by wishing the
organisers several years of success in organising this event.
The
gala event, which will be presented by Mario Micallef and Catherine
Xuereb, will be broadcast on Melita Sports 701/47 and on Information
