MPL Joins European Leagues

The Malta Premier League (MPL) has been formally accepted as member of European Leagues (EL), the organization which brings together professional foot‐ ball leagues in Europe.

The decision was taken during the EL General Assembly in Oporto.

European Leagues is already providing MPL, as one of its De‐ velopment Members, with advice and best practices on the estab‐ lishment of a new Premier League in Malta.

MPL Chairman Joseph Muscat said that following the clubs’ unanimous endorsement of its Statute and Work Programme, this was another crucial step for‐ ward.

“Our membership of European Leagues in such a short period of time will help in setting up the new league and in our discussions with MFA. EL agreed to give us ac‐ cess to their know how so that the new Premier League will be com‐ petitive and an attractive experi‐ ence for fans, said Dr Muscat.

Together with MFA, the Malta Premier League will soon organ‐ ize a consultation conference for stakeholders with a view of dis‐ cussing choices that need to be made.
