The sporting community of Siġġiewi last weekend convened for a unique event after the locality's sporting complex was named as John Debattista Siġġiewi Sports Complex.

It was a memorable occasion for several persons who worked closely with Debattista throughout his life in different sectors to meet with his family members and remember his work towards the sports community of Siġġiewi through the Għaqda Ġurnalisti Sports and other voluntary organisations he was involved with.

Present for the occasion was Siġġiewi Mayor Dr Alessia Psaila Zammit along with the other local council members, Ryan Callus, PN spokesman for Sport, Carmelo Aquilina, who worked with Debattista to set up the Siġġiewi Basketball Club and Charles Camenzuli, the AIPS Europe president, who worked for several years with Debattista in the sportswriters association and Vivienne Debattista, the wife of John Debattista.
