Samuel Azzopardi was elected as the new president of the Gozo Football Association during an extraordinary general meeting held at the organising headquarters in Xewkija, yesterday.

Delegates from member clubs took part in the election which pitted against each other Dr Azzopardi and Joe Bajada, the former secretary of the Gozo Football Association.

Dr Azzopardi won the poll when he collected 21 votes against Bajada’s 11.

Dr Azzopardi will now replace Alvin Grech who stood down from the post after he was in charge of the GFA for the past six years.
