The Malta Football Referees Association (MFRA) yesterday issued a press release to unreservedly condemn the comments made by Mr Victor Sciriha, president of Valletta FC, about Paul Caruana, one of the members of the Association.

The comments were made during a speech of acceptance of a prize at the Go Malta Football Awards on Wednesday.

The Association’s statement, signed by PRO Alex Arena, said that the MFRA and all its members wish to show solidarity with the said official and reiterate their support to Mr. Caruana, who always performed his official duties seriously and with professionalism.
