Maltese athletes continue to make their mark on the international table football scene with strong performances in two major competitions abroad. One of the standout moments came from George Ebejer, who reached the final of a prestigious event in Belgium.
Strong Showing in Belgium – George Ebejer a Finalist
George Ebejer advanced to the final of the Wamme International Open, a top-tier table football tournament held in Belgium. Ebejer impressed with his skill and focus, defeating William van den Houte and Noah Jansses in the earlier rounds. In the final, he faced off against the experienced Christophe Dheur, ultimately finishing as runner-up after a closely contested match.
Ebejer’s performance marks a significant achievement for Maltese table football and highlights the growing talent on the island.
Team Competition: Bormla SC Represent Malta
Malta was also represented in the team category by Bormla Sports Club, who fielded a squad of three players. Despite a valiant effort and competitive play, the team was eliminated in the group stage. Their participation at this level contributes to the ongoing development and international exposure of Maltese table football.
Spencer Conti Competes in Greece
Meanwhile, Spencer Conti took part in the International Open of Chalkida, another major table football event, this time in Greece. In the individual competition, Conti progressed to the barrage stage, showing his potential on the international circuit. He also competed in the team event with Reggio Calabria SC, his affiliated club team, but they were eliminated during the group phase.
Support Behind the Scenes
The international participation of these Maltese table football athletes is made possible thanks to the ongoing support of SportMalta and the Malta Olympic Committee. Their assistance is crucial in providing local players with the resources and opportunities needed to compete at the highest levels.
As Maltese table football continues to grow in both skill and recognition, results like these serve as a testament to the sport’s potential on the island and the dedication of its athletes.
