The Malta Triathlon Federation has reportedly submitted a formal application to become affiliated to the Mediterranean Triathlon Federation, in a bid to increase cooperation between triathlon federations of the Mediterranean states.
This co-operation aims to see more development opportunities for triathletes in the region. It also follows a move earlier this year, by the members of the national governing body, to move the tri governing organisation in Malta to federation status.
Following the migration to federation status, the Malta Triathlon organisation became known as the Malta Triathlon Federation.
The President of the Malta Triathlon Federation Cyprian Dalli represented Malta at the recent Elective General Assembly in Athens. “It is indeed an honour for me and the Maltese Federation to be elected on the Executive Board” said Dalli.
“Joining this Board will enable us to have a say and contribute ideas for the development of triathlon in the Mediterranean region, a region where the sport is registering strong growth numbers.”
One of the major plans of the Mediterranean Triathlon Federation is to organize a bi-annual Mediterranean Triathlon Championships, which the local federation believes will prove beneficial for Maltese triathletes to be a part of.
