Steve Borg is the winner of the TGS Malta Fair Play Award covering July to September 2025.

This quarterly award, handed out by the Malta Sports Journalists Association (MSJA) and the Malta Fair Play Movement in collaboration with Together Gaming Solutions, is aimed at sporting individuals or teams who would have distinguished themselves with an altruistic gesture of fair play during official and/or non-official competitions.

The awarded act of Fair Play occurred right after the final whistle of the inaugural football match of the YoHealth Malta Premier 2025/26 on Saturday, 16th August 2025, between rivals Valletta and Birkirkara. Steve Borg, considered as a football giant, instead of running to celebrate in front of the Valletta’s supporters, rushed to assist the two rival players who had collided together in the dying seconds of the match.

“Steve Borg’s kind act of sportsmanship perfectly embraces the true spirit of Fair Play, placing empathy and respect above victory. A truly principled player!” said Edward Licari, Director of Together Gaming Solutions.

The TGS Malta Fair Play Award was presented by Edward Licari, Director of Together Gaming Solutions, at their offices in St. Julian’s. The Malta Sports Journalists Association was represented by Vice-President Paul Cachia.  

Members of the public, teams, or officials can notify the Malta Sports Journalists Association and the Malta Fair Play Movement and make them aware of a fair play gesture by contacting them at info@maltasportsjournalists.com for consideration.
