To discuss the results of the research step, the Partners of the Erasmus+ funded Project, Sports Against Match-Fixing (SAMF), met on the 17th and 18th of November 2022 in the Malta Football Association HQ (National Stadium, Ta’ Qali) to discuss the progress and results of the research step, as well to discuss the preliminary results of the quantitative/qualitative analytical work that has been conducted so far by the Partners and to define the next actions and deadlines. It was also a good moment for the Partners to meet and discuss and exchange experiences on their individual deliverables/outcomess, e.g. the results of their respective focus group meetings, as well as their interview outputs.
After two full intense days of work, the Malta Football Association, which kindly organized and setup these meetings, also provided the Partners a relaxing visit to its Museum, as well as the chance to assist to a friendly match between the Men’s Malta National Football team and the Greek National Football Team.
