Land adjacent to the Sports Pavilion in Ta’ Qali will be transferred to the Malta Basketball Association for the development of new sports facilities. This Cabinet decision was announced by Prime Minister Robert Abela during a meeting in Castile with the different categories of national basketball teams, all of whom achieved historic success in the respective European Championships of the last few weeks. The Prime Minister mentioned how, from its earliest days, this Government has given clear direction that sport must be at the highest level of the country’s priorities. “We make these decisions because we are convinced that this country has athletes who are internationally competitive. Yes, despite our size, we are capable of going abroad and winning,” said the Prime Minister.
