In a move towards more transparency and accountability in football governance, the Malta FA has introduced a policy that mandates the publication of match official appointments 24 hours in advance of the first match of each matchday in the National League.

This initiative, a key component of President Bjorn Vassallo’s electoral manifesto, will start on the 15th of August 2024. It aims to enhance openness in the league’s officiating processes. The appointments can be accessed from the Resources Section of the Malta FA website.

The significance of this development cannot be understated. By providing stakeholders, including clubs, players, and fans, with timely access to information regarding match officials, the Association is taking a proactive step towards fostering trust and credibility in the operations of football competitions.

This move aligns with global trends in sports governance, where transparency is increasingly valued as a means to uphold integrity and fairness.
