Lee Pisani (Fgura United FC) wins the first TGS Malta Fair Play Award for the year 2022

‌

The Malta Fair Play Movement has announced the fifth TGS Malta Fair Play Award, after the Malta Sports Journalists Association and Together Gaming Solutions renewed their collaboration on this joint initiative. This award is aimed at sporting individuals or teams who would have distinguished themselves with an altruistic gesture of fair play during official and/or non-official competitions.

The first award for this year 2022, covering the January–March period, was given to Lee Pisani, who plays for Fgura United FC. On Sunday 20th February, in a BOV Challenge League Group B match against Mgarr United, Pisani was involved with Mgarr's Samuel Saldanha during a struggle for ball possession. Pisani fell on the Brazilian’s feet and seriously injured him.

‌

After this accident, Pisani wrote him a card in Portuguese and contacted Mgarr United's staff requesting a visit at the hospital to see the player. At the hospital, they took a picture together as a sign of friendship.

"Lee Pisani's action, on as well as off the pitch, is a display of true friendship and sportsmanship. It's also an inspirational gesture of fair play that deserves recognition and praise. As such we're very happy to support the decision to award Lee Pisani with this year's first fair play award," said Benjamin Delsinger Managing Director of Together Gaming Solutions.

The presentation of the TGS Malta Fair Play Award was held on Thursday 28th April 2022 and was hosted by Andrea Critien from the Finance & HR Department and Benjamin Delsinger Managing Director of Together Gaming Solutions, at their offices in St. Julian’s. Charles Camenzuli was present on behalf of the Malta Fair Play Movement. The Malta Sports Journalists Association was represented by Administrator Stephen Azzopardi, Executive Member Domenic Aquilina and member Josef Galdes.

Members of the public, teams or officials can notify the Malta Sports Journalists Association and the Malta Fair Play Movement and make them aware of a fair play gesture by contacting them on info@maltasportsjournalists.com, for consideration.

Lee Pisani (Fgura United FC) jirbaħ l-ewwel TGS Malta Fair Play Award għas-sena 2022

‌

Il-Malta Fair Play Movement ħabbar il-ħames TGS Malta Fair Play Award, wara li l-Għaqda Ġurnalisti Sports u Together Gaming Solutions ġeddew il-kollaborazzjoni tagħhom f’dan l-impenn konġunt. Dan il-premju huwa intiż għal dawk fil-qasam tal-isport kemm fuq livell individwali jew bħala tim għal mod atruwistiku f’kompetizzjoni/ijiet uffiċjali jew le.

L-ewwel unur għas-sena 2022, li jkopri l-perjodu bejn Jannar u Marzu ngħata Lee Pisani, li jilgħab ma’ Fgura United FC. Nhar il-Ħadd 20 ta’ Frar, waqt logħba mill-BOV Challenge League Grupp B kontra Mgarr United, Pisani kien involut ma’ Samuel Saldanha ta’ Mgarr United waqt taqtigħa għall-pussess tal-ballun. Pisani niżel fuq saqajn il-plejer Brażiljan u weġġgħu serjament.

‌

Wara dan l-inċident, Pisani kitiblu kartolina bil-Portugiż u għamel kuntatt mal-istaff ta’ Mgarr United sabiex imur jarah fl-isptar. Meta kienu l-isptar, ħadu ritratt flimkien bħala sinjal tal-ħbiberija tagħhom.

“Il-ġest ta’ Lee Pisani fuq il-pitch u anki barra, huwa turija ta’ ħbiberija vera u sportività. Huwa wkoll ġest li jnissel sens ta’ fair play li jixraqlu jkun imfaħħar u rikonoxxut. Aħna ninsabu kuntenti li nappoġġjaw id-deċiżjoni li jingħata l-premju lil Lee Pisani bħala l-ewwel Fair Play Award għal din is-sena," qal Benjamin Delsinger Direttur Maniġerjali ta’ Together Gaming Solutions.

Il-preżentazzjoni tat-TGS Malta Fair Play Award saret nhar il-Ħamis 28 ta’ April 2022 fil-preżenza ta’ Andrea Critien mid-Dipartiment tal-Finanzi u r-Riżorsi Umani, u Benjamin Delsinger Direttur Maniġerjali ta’ Together Gaming Solutions, fl-uffiċini tagħhom f’San Ġiljan. Charles Camenzuli kien preżenti f’isem il-Malta Fair Play Movement. L-Għaqda Ġurnalisti Sports kienet rappreżentata mill- Amministratur Stephen Azzopardi, il-Membru tal-Kumitat Eżekuttiv Domenic Aquilina u l-membru Josef Galdes.
