Nhar it-Tnejn, 19 ta’ Mejju, il-Malta Football Association organizzat konferenza stampa biex tħabbar in-nomini għall-Malta FA Awards ta’ din is-sena.
Il-konferenza stampa, li saret fis-Centenary Hall, f’Ta’ Qali, kienet indirizzata mill-Viċi President tal-Malta FA, Adrian Casha.
“Din is-sena hija speċjali, għax apparti l-premjijiet li s-soltu jingħataw, se nkunu qed nagħtu wkoll Malta Best XI of All Time biex timmarka l-okkażjoni tal-125 anniversarju tal-Assoċjazzjoni. Dan se jkun il-qofol tal-avveniment tal-Ġimgħa,” żied jgħid is-Sur Casha.
L-għażla tal-Malta Best XI of All Time tinkludi voti minn partitarji, amministraturi, coaches, uffiċjali tal-logħob, ġurnalisti, riċerkaturi, kittieba kif ukoll preżentaturi ta’ programmi sportivi. Matul il-proċess tal-votazzjoni, il-pubbliku jista’ jissottometti l-preferenzi tiegħu għal kull pożizzjoni. Is-Sur Casha faħħar ir-rispons pożittiv tal-pubbliku fejn b’kollox intbagħtu 800 vot.
Fir-rigward tal-premju tal-MFA Footballer of the Year, is-Sur Casha stqarr li din se tkun is-70 darba li se jingħata l-premju. Għall-premjijiet tal-Aħjar Skorers, il-goals skorjati fil-fażijiet tal-play-offs tal-kompetizzjonijiet rispettivi ma ġewx ikkunsidrati.
