The <strong>MFPA</strong> Awards is one of our favourite events of the year. Whilst the<br />
build up to the ceremony is responsible for many sleepless nights, it is also<br />
incredibly rewarding in the end. Because, when all the votes have been<br />
collected and counted, the script revised around 223 times, all the invites<br />
sent, the stage designed and the graphic clips meticulously finalised, we<br />
can take a breather and celebrate the glamorous night with the best local<br />
football talent.<br />
. .<br />
This year’s awards ceremony, at the Limestone Heritage – Siggiewi, on<br />
the 8 of May 2017, was attended by football’s local elite and hosted by<br />
ex-football player Ben Camille, together with the talented Deandra Agius.<br />
The ceremony saw, 24 awards given to the best talent in local football,<br />
as decided by their peers. Local band Airport Impressions provided a live<br />
musical reprieve.<br />
Jurgen Degabriele was selected as the <strong>MFPA</strong> Best Young <strong>Player</strong>, effectively<br />
identified as the future bright promise of Maltese football.<br />
The evening then culminated to the most prestigious award of the night,<br />
with Bjorn Kristensen crowned as the undisputed <strong>MFPA</strong> Best <strong>Player</strong> for<br />
season 2016/2017. He becomes the first to take home a stunning new<br />
trophy, launched especially by the <strong>MFPA</strong> for its most significant award.<br />
