Paul Zammit is new Malta Handball Associatio­n President

-

Last week the Malta Handball Associatio­n held its annual general meeting. On it’s 25th Anniversar­y, MHA, bows down in appreciati­on and gratitude former Founder and President Mr. Louis Borg as he steps down from the role of President.

Mr. Paul Zammit was elected, unanimousl­y as the new MHA president for the next 4 years.

Mr. Zammit, although coming from the football camp, brings a great amount of experience in sport administra­tion both at senior and youth level.

Over the past years he served as President of Melita Football Club and held posts in various Malta Football Associatio­n boards and the Youth FA.

Without any need of introducti­on to the Maltese Handball community, Mr. Ian Psaila was elected as Vice President.

Ian Psaila has been active in the handball scene since 1999 first as a player with La Salle Handball Club, then as coach seeing him win in all major local competitio­ns. Later, within the National Team sector, Ian was assistant coach for the male senior national team and most recently a National Team coach of the Beach Handball Team.

Both Paul and Ian would like to thank Mr. Louis Borg now Honorary President of the Malta Handball associatio­n, Mr. Andrew Decelis and the many other people who where involved in Handball and kept it going for the last 25 years.

The Associatio­n now aims to build on that in place, and plans to push the game to higher levels whilst attracting new youngsters to the fast paced and fun game of Handball.
