Argus Insurance Agencies Ltd signed an agreement to become the main sponsor of Ta’ Xbiex SC, the amateur football club. This sponsorship will help the club, founded in 2012 by Christian Wismayer, to pursue a number of ambitious projects including constructing its own football pitch and opening new offices.
Vanessa Borg, chief executive at Argus, said: “Ta’ Xbiex SC has come a long way thanks to the hard work and dedication of the committee, led by Mario Psaila-Savona. Ta’ Xbiex is also our home and this sponsorship is part of our commitment to support the community around us.”
Club president Mario Psaila-Savona said the club had made great strides both on and off the pitch thanks to the efforts of committed volunteers and coach Jean Pierre Portanier Mifsud. “With the support of Argus, we aim to take things to a new level and give Ta’ Xbiex a club residents can be proud of,” Mr Psaila-Savona added.
Ta’ Xbiex SC is now in its third season playing in the Third Division, having finished in penultimate place in their inaugural season and 10th last year. The committee is made up of Mario Psaila-Savona, Paul Wismayer, Daniel Soler, Christian Wismayer, Francesco Refalo, Eugenio Muscat and James Cassar.
