football for Hamrun
KARL AZZOPARDI
THE Malta Football Association's exec-
utive committee has turned down Joseph
Portelli's bid to be registered as a Ham-
run Spartans player.
"The Malta FA Executive Board met
today to discuss the request by Ħamrun
Spartans FC to register Mr Joseph Portel-
li as a professional player following his
resignation from the post of club presi-
dent," the MFA said in a statement.
The MFA said the recommendation of
the Ethics and Compliance Committee
not to accept the registration was con-
firmed by the Executive Board, "which is
ultimately the competent body to decide
on such matters on the basis of the Asso-
ciation's Reputational Risk Management
Policy."
The decision is subject to appeal.
