The Executive Committee of the Malta Sports Journalists Association (MSJA) held its first official meeting. Prior to the meeting, the Executive Committee met with the President of the Aquatic Sports Association of Malta (ASA), Karl Izzo, who congratulated the newly elected members on their appointment. During the exchange, an agreement was reached whereby all MSJA members will be granted access to attend any ASA competitions in all ASA’s facilities upon presentation of their valid MSJA membership card.
