PRESS RELEASE BY THE PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARIAT FOR PUBLIC WORKS Upgrading at the sports facilities of Luqa St. Andrew’s F.C. by the Public Works Department

In recent months, the Department of Public Works has carried out a number of improvement works at the sports facilities of Luqa St. Andrew’s F.C. The aim of these upgrades is to provide children attending this nursery with a more pleasant and safer environment in which to practice football.

Parliamentary Secretary for Public Works Omar Farrugia noted that the works at this nursery form part of dozens of other projects that the Department of Public Works has completed over the past year for various sports associations across Malta.

“It is gratifying to see so many organisations, volunteers, and children benefiting from the work carried out by the Public Works Department — an effort through which the Government continues to strengthen voluntary organisations and sends a clear message that it will keep safeguarding the services they provide to thousands of beneficiaries,” Farrugia concluded.

The President of Luqa St. Andrew’s F.C., Dr Evan Camilleri, expressed his gratitude to the Public Works Department for believing in the Nursery project as well as in sports in general.

Trustin Farrugia Cann, Vice-President of the Malta Football Association (MFA), remarked that these works are of great importance for sport and for the game of football, as they help the sport continue to move forward.
