Last update: 04 August, 2024
Meridianbet will now serve as the title sponsor of the Maltese FA Cup, officially known as the FA Trophy. This three-year sponsorship deal aims to bolster the support for local football clubs and the broader Maltese football community.
Stefan Pavlovic, the Director of Meridian Gaming (Meridianbet Malta), expressed his excitement about the new collaboration: "We are thrilled to partner with the Malta Football Association as the title sponsor of the Maltese FA Cup. With our 17-year presence in Malta, we have consistently strived to give back to the community. This sponsorship not only supports the growth of football at all levels but also reinforces our ongoing initiatives."
Meridianbet, which was established in 2001, is now a part of the Golden Matrix Group. Over the years, the company has demonstrated a strong commitment to the Maltese community, both within and outside the realm of football. One of their recent initiatives includes the "Meridianbet Betting Awareness" program, launched in collaboration with the Responsible Gaming Foundation. This initiative focuses on promoting responsible betting practices among the Maltese population.
Beyond their contributions to responsible gaming, Meridianbet has also been actively involved in environmental sustainability efforts. The company has supported the Malta Ranger Unit, an organization dedicated to preserving the local ecosystem. These efforts underscore Meridianbet’s commitment to fostering a positive impact on Maltese society.
Bjorn Vassallo, President of the Malta FA, highlighted the significance of the partnership: "The Maltese FA is committed to growing and improving the game of football and the people in it at all levels. Our partnership with Meridianbet, a company with a deep-rooted presence in Malta, is an ideal fit as we strive to inspire people, achieve high standards, and embrace a sporting culture. Together, we aim to foster positive social change and champion national pride."
The sponsorship by Meridianbet is expected to provide much-needed financial support and resources to the Maltese football community. This collaboration is seen as a strategic move to elevate the standards of local football and inspire a new generation of athletes. With this partnership, both Meridianbet and the Malta FA are looking forward to a promising future where football serves as a catalyst for positive social change and community development.
In a recent exclusive interview with Huddle, Meridianbet CEO Zoran Milosevic and Golden Matrix Group CEO Brian Goodman discussed the broader implications of the sponsorship. They emphasized the shared vision of both organizations in promoting excellence, sustainability, and community engagement through sports.
As the Maltese FA Cup enters this new chapter with Meridianbet as its title sponsor, the anticipation and excitement within the local football community are palpable. The partnership promises to bring renewed energy and support to Maltese football, reinforcing the sport’s role in uniting and uplifting the community.
