The Malta Football Association and Bank of Valletta (BOV) have formalised a new partnership agreement which will see BOV become an Official Partner of the Malta National ‘A’ Team until 2028.
The agreement was signed at Centenary Hall on Monday, formalising the bank’s support for the Association and the national team.
BOV branding to feature on National Team attire
Under the agreement, BOV’s branding will feature prominently on the national team’s training attire, as well as on the anthem jacket worn by the players during official team appearances.
The partnership further strengthens the longstanding relationship between the Malta FA and BOV, reflecting a shared commitment to supporting Maltese football and the continued development of the national game.
Through this agreement, BOV will have a visible presence alongside the Malta National ‘A’ Team as the players represent the country in international competitions and engagements over the coming years.
Malta FA and BOV underline commitment to Maltese football
Commenting on the agreement, Malta FA President Bjorn Vassallo welcomed BOV’s decision to extend its commitment to the Association, describing the partnership as another step forward in the relationship between the two organisations.
“The Association and the Bank have enjoyed a longstanding partnership, with both organisations evolving together over the years. Today, this relationship extends beyond commercial synergies to include financial support which, having initially focused on domestic competitions, is now expanding to the national teams,” he said.
“It is an honour for the Malta FA to further strengthen its relationship with BOV and, through this investment, continue contributing to something that unites us as a country: our national teams,” he added.
BOV Chief Operations Officer Ernest Agius remarked that the collaboration represents the importance that the bank gives to sport when it comes to bringing people together.
“Bank of Valletta is proud to strengthen its support for the Malta National Team, building on the longstanding relationship that has developed over the years between BOV and the Malta FA. This collaboration reflects more than our commitment to football. It represents our belief in the important role that sport plays in bringing people together, inspiring younger generations and strengthening our sense of community and national identity,” he said.
“The National Team carries the responsibility and privilege of representing Malta on the international stage, and we are pleased to stand behind the players, coaches and wider team as they wear the national colours with pride, determination, and commitment.”
“At Bank of Valletta, supporting Maltese sport has long formed part of our commitment to the communities we serve. Our relationship with the MFA is built on shared values of teamwork, dedication, resilience and the pursuit of excellence. We look forward to continuing this collaboration and to supporting the development of Maltese football at every level.”
“On behalf of Bank of Valletta, I wish the Malta National Team every success in the challenges ahead and assure them of our encouragement and support,” Mr Agius concluded.
The Malta FA welcomes BOV’s continued support and looks forward to building on this partnership throughout the duration of the agreement.
