President Bjorn Vassallo will seek another term in office at the Malta Football Association as the local governing body of football will hold its elections during its General Assembly at the Grand Hotel Excelsior in Floriana this evening.

Vassallo is seeking his second four-year spell in office but is facing the challenge of Robert Micallef, the president of Santa Lucia FC, during the presidential elections that headline today’s meeting.
