MSJA’s President Sandro Micallef remarked that this presentation is a result of a personal sound friendship for many years and as MSJA this was a sign of appreciation to Mifsud’s contribution to the local football and for his experience at an international level. Mifsud thanked Sandro Micallef and all the other MSJA members for this gesture and thanked all Maltese sports journalists for their continued support. Following the presentation, Michael Mifsud also signed some personal memorabilia which will be kept for the Malta Sports Journalists Association's sports museum and other items which will be eventually distributed during charitable campaigns.
