This year’s edition of the Veterans Christmas Cup will be held between 3rd December and 17th December
Games will be played at Attard Football Club, St. Dororthy’s School Zebbug, and Nadur Football Club.
Veterans Malta Football Association (VMFA) tħabbar li l-kampjonat u l-kompetizzjonijiet l-oħra tagħha għal dan l-istaġun se jiġu posposti b’mod indefinit.
L-Assoċċjazzjoni qed tagħmel dan b’responsabilità u fid-dawl tas-sitwazzjoni preżenti marbuta mal-pandemija tal-Covid19.
L-Assocċċjazzjoni qed tagħmel dan ukoll wara diskussjoni interna u mad-delegati tal-clubs.
Minkejja l-protokoll li permezz tiegħu jista’ jintlagħab il-logħob, il-VMFA jidhrilha li għandha tpoġġi is-saħħa tal-players u l-familji tagħhom qabel kollox. L-Assoċċjazzjoni trid tagħmel il-parti tagħha fil-ġlieda kontra din il-marda billi ma torganizzax attivitajiet fejn jiltaqgħu in-nies li jkunu viċin xulxin u f’kuntatt bejniethom.
L-Assoċċjazzjoni tifhem li hemm antiċipazzjoni għar-ritorn għal-logħob u li setgħet tibda l-logħob billi ssegwi l-protokoll. Iżda l-VMFA temmen li l-aktar għażla għaqlija hija posponiment tal-attivitajiet kollha biex hekk tkun salvagwardjata is-saħħa ta’ kulħadd, u fl-istess ħin tagħti eżempju u tgħin fl-isforz nazzjonali kontra l-imxija.
L-Assoċċjazzjoni qed tagħmel dan ukoll b’rispett lejn it-tobba, nurses u dawk kollha li jaħdmu fil-qasam tas-saħħa, u tħoss li hekk tkun qed tagħmel il-parti tagħha biex ma tiżdiedx il-pressjoni fuq dawn il-frontliners eroj.
