Nearly €250,000 has been allocated by the government to continue improving sports facilities in Gozo next year, Parliamentary Secretary for Sport Chris Agius said during a business breakfast held at the Grand Hotel, Għajnsielem.
The event, organised by the Gozo Sports Board was held to discuss the promotion of sport on the island.
