Malta’s gold medalist will receive a €10,000 bonus
The Maltese athletes have been given a significant incentive to win the gold medal in their discipline at the 2023 Games of the Small States of Europe after the President of the Maltese Olympic Committee Julian Pace Bonello announced that they will receive a bonus of €10,000.
The announcement was made during a press briefing during which the Maltese Olympic Committee gave the latest update on the current preparations for the biennial Games that will take place on our islands between May 29 and June 4.
“In the last few weeks we had talks with the government and Sport Malta about the bonuses that should be given to the medal winners of Team Malta during the Games,” said Pace Bonello.
“We have reached an agreement with Dr Clifton Grima and Sport Malta that the Maltese winners of the gold medal at the Games will receive €10,000. This is undoubtedly the highest amount ever received by Maltese athletes in the GSSE and we hope to have many of them during the one-week Games.”
Pace Bonello said that the preparations for the Games are progressing and he had no doubt that the GSSE will leave a lasting legacy in Malta.
“Sport can be a major force for positive change, and I firmly believe that the Games of Small States of Europe can be a strong force that leaves a lasting legacy to our island,” said Pace Bonello.
