Il-Kumpless tal-Futbol f’Birzebbuga inawgurat

sportmt December 17, 2018 0

B’investiment ta` zewg miljun Ewro, Is-Sibt l-ewwel ta’ dicembru gie inawgurat il-kumpless tal-futbol f’Birzebbuga.  Progett li kien gie imwieghed mill-Gvern fl-2013 u wara snin ta` xoghol finalment tlesta.

Il-Ftuh ta` dan il-kumpless sar mill-Prim Ministru Joseph Muscat li kien akkumpanjat mis-Segretarju Parlamentari ghal-Isport Clifton Grima kif ukoll diversi Ministri, deputati u anke mill-Kumissarju Ewropew Karmenu Vella, li ghex ghal snin twal fil-lokalita.

Fi diskors tieghu il-Prim Ministru qal li fi ftit zmien il-Gvern investa kwazi 5 miljun Ewro f’din il-lokalita, wara li xhur ilhu tlestiet il-Pixxina.  Dan qal Il-Prim Ministru qed ssir mhux ghax hemm preferenza mill-lokal ghal iehor izda sabiex jikkumpensa ghal inkonvenjent li ic-cittadini ta` dan il-lokal ghandhom bil-freeport li huwa essenzjali ghal pajjiz kollhu.

Il-Kumpless huwa mghammar b’dak kollhu li ghanda bzonn facilita tal-futbol li tinkludi grawnd ta` turf artifucjali 11 a side, stand ghal pubbliku, dressing rooms, sala tal-Kumitat u sala ohra li tintuza mill-komunita tal-lokal ghal attvitajiet varji.

Ray Camilleri, cermen tal-Fondazzjoni Sport Birzebbuga qal li din hija holma li saret realta.  Huwa semma li ghal diversi drabi kellhom grawnd u ghew imnehhija ghar-ragunijiet differenti u fl-ahhar snin kellhom  jikru fi skola San Benedittu biex jithargu.  Huwa qal li dan huwa rigal sew ghas-St Peters kif ukoll ghal Windmills li ha jgieb aktar tfal li jersqu lejn il-loghba tal-futbol u anke lejn il-klabb.

Is-segratarju Parlametari Clifton Grima qal li da nil-kumpless ma kienx facli li jsir izda sar bi sforz kollettiv.  Huwa qal li issa sta ghal klabb li gahndu l-ghodda f’idejh biex juzaha tajjeb u barra li jheggeg aktar tfal u zaghzagh ghal loghba tal-futbol, jaghmel dan il-post sostenibli.

Kemm ic-Cermen ta` SportMalta Luciano Busuttil u il-Kap Ezekuttiv Mark Cutajar tkellmu fuq il-progetti li SportMalta qed taghmel.  Huma qalu li dawn ikunu possibli mhux biss ghax il-finanzjament huwa wiehed kontinwu minn naha tal-Gvern izda ghax il-haddiema ta` SportMalta jahdmu qattiegh biex il-progetti jsiru u jsiru tajjeb.

Wara id-diskorsi, il-Prim Ministru iltaqgha kemm mal-kowcis kif ukoll ma numru ta` tfal li kieneu hemm ghas-sessjonijiet ta` tahrig is-Sibt filghodu.

L-Onorevoli Grima qal li dan ic-centru huwa wiehed importanti ghax issa tfal u zaghzagh jistghu jaghmlu tahrig fuq mwejjed tajbin kif ukoll that kowcis kwalifikati.  Ghal li dan ic-centru ser jintuza mi tfal ta` l-iskola,  mill-akkademja ta` SportMalta parti mill-programm On the Move, kif ukoll mill-Assocjazzjoni sabiex torganizza fih Kampjonati Nazzjonali u kompetizzjonijiet ohra.

Frans Bugeja qal li din hija holma li saret realta.  Huwa qal li ghal hafna snin l-assocjazzjoni kienet qed tistenna li  jkollha centru bhal dan sabiex l-isport ikompli jikber.  Semma li fil-passat dan l-isport gab biss successi bi players bhal Tony Drago, Pawlu Mifsud, Guzi Grech u Alex Borg fost ohrajn poggew lil Malta fuq il-mappa internazzjonali ta` dan l-isport.

Wara li is-sena li ghaddiet tlesta u infetah l-grawnd tal-futbol u issa centru ghal l-isnooker issa fadal issir sala tal-handball,  padiljun ghal sport varju, sala tal-bocci u sala ghat-table futbol biex dan il-kumpless ikun komplut.

Luciano Busuttil tkellem dwar l-importanza li dawn il-faclitajiet ghandhom biex l-isport jikber.  Semma li On The Move tant kiber li jekk ma jkollniex iktar centri ma nkunux nistghu nilhqu l-objettivi taghna biex naghmlu socjeta aktar partecipi fl-isport u iktar attiva.

The 3rd full partner meeting of the ONSIDE project partners took place in Lausanne, Switzerland, on 15th/16th November 2018 at the headquarters of European Athletics.

The main ‎focus of day 1 of the meeting was to consider the results of the research phases of the project. Adequate workforce research is the foundation of a successful skills development project and the partners reviewed the results from the four phases of research which had been carried out since the last meeting.

Telephone interviews with nine leading European federations generated useful data and increased the network of federations committed to the ONSIDE project.

The group were most looking forward to learning the results of the national sport federation online survey – as all had made significant efforts to promote the survey in their networks.

247 respondents provided responses across 50 sports. The partner countries (France, UK, Bulgaria, Romania, Malta and the Netherlands) were very well represented.

Results were analysed and discussed under key workforce development themes including recruitment, retention, skills, education and current challenges.

At the close of Day 1 delegates took a guided tour of the Olympic museum, which was arranged by European athletics and enjoyed immensely by all.

Day two saw delegates debating levels and models of sport officials, led by Jan Vlasblom of NOC*NSF, and agreeing a structure for the Occupational Descriptor to be produced in the project. Finally an interactive session produced an overall working definition of sport officiating which is the starting point in the production ‎of competency standards.

The partners now look forward to the next meeting in Bucherest, Romania, in March 2019 where they will finalise the first set of outputs.

‎Ben Gittus, EOSE Director of Standards, said “the partners are working together very well as a team to tackle this challenging skills development project, the research phase considered at the meeting has laid a solid foundation as we move in to year 2 of the project”.

Julia Lee, Director at Sports Officials UK, said “The two days have been really illuminating and it has highlighted the passion for sports officiating. 247 people completed the survey which in the time scale is really positive. The input from the partners and information gathered will be really useful to progress to the next stages of the project”.
