The team, which brings togeth- er players representing different aviation stakeholders including Malta International Airport, Air Malta, Aviaserve, and AFM employees, went undefeated for eight matches played over the course of three days in Dublin, Ireland. After beating teams such as Nice Airport, London City Air- port, and Dublin Airport, the MLA football team faced Mos- cow Sheremetyevo in a final en- counter, netting its winning goal merely minutes before the final whistle was sounded and going on to take home the Don Treacy Cup. MLA CEO Alan Borg congrat- ulated the team upon its victory and went on to say: "This proves that teamwork always kits out a group of people with the right gloves to punch above their weight and achieve great results to- gether. It was a pleasure to watch the team face worthy opponents with a true Maltese can-do attitude, and play their way to win- ning the cup." This year's edition was hosted by Dublin Airport and saw 14 airport teams play for the Don Treacy Cup between the 15th and the 17th of June. The anticipated biyearly tournament is open to Airports Council In- ternational accredited airports throughout Europe.
