Maltco Lotteries presented financial support to the SportMalta Għażliet Sportivi Nazzjonali winners. These athletes have been awarded with their respective title back in February for their 2018 achievements during the SportMalta Għażliet Sportivi Nazzjonali event which was organised by SportMalta together with the Malta Sports Journalists Association.

Maltco Lotteries have been supporting this event for the past years. “Apart from being one of the main sponsors of the yearly SportMalta Awards event, Maltco also provides the winners with a financial support as an encouragement and incentive to pursue further in their sports career” affirmed Maltco Lotteries CEO, Mr Vasileios Kasiotakis.
