Prime Minister Joseph Muscat and Parliamentary Secretary for Sport Clifton Grima inaugurated the Ta' Qali basketball pavilion project today, worth around half a million euros.

Prime Minister Muscat said that this was an important project for the sports community in general, and said that this is an example of how the economic surplus is felt in practical terms, with such projects able to be undertaken.

Grima said that the project is financed by SportsMalta. 

He said all the walls and the ceiling was changed, and works around the pavilion grounds occurred, including on the showers and ventilation systems. He said that this is the first phase of the project, and government will help conclude further infrastructural work on the dressing rooms, the gymnasium, the offices and the board room through SportsMalta.

He said that through this investment, Malta has an international level pavilion that will be used in the Eurpean Small Nations Games in 2023.
