Banif Bank sponsors the FISEC Games Malta - 2012

This will be the 5^th year that the Games are organised in Malta where the Maltese Council for the FISEC Games will be hosting around 800 Catholic school students aged between 14 and 17, coming from 9 different countries including Malta. The host nation will be represented by a very big contingent of approximately 200 students and coaches, who will be participating in various sports disciplines including futsal, basketball, volleyball, table tennis, athletics, swimming and football.

As a Maltese Bank who has the local community at heart, Banif Bank is committed to help people achieve their expectations and desires. In line with its humanism value, Banif will do its utmost to contribute to the development of the communities where it belongs. With this value in mind, the Bank gladly accepted the invitation of the FISEC Games - 2012 Council to support this year's edition and help students achieve their dreams.

Although the Games provide a good opportunity for aspiring athletes to compete against foreign competitors, FISEC Games go beyond this. They are intended to promote sports and a healthy lifestyle, strengthen the catholic beliefs amongst students and most of all help to give something back to the communities as denoted by this year's FISEC Games motto - Giving is Joy. As is customary, participants from different countries will be asked to offer some traditional souvenirs from their country of origin to be sold at a bazaar organised during the event with the proceeds going for a charitable institution.

'Banif Bank is very proud to be associated with the FISEC Games which manage to bring together individuals from different backgrounds towards a common goal. Our support to the FISEC Games is another clear demonstration of Banif's commitment towards the Maltese community, which the Bank pledges to continue to support in line with its business operations', commented Mr Charles Mizzi, Head of Unit, Image and Communications Unit at Banif Bank (Malta) plc.

Banif Bank would like to congratulate the Maltese Council for the FISEC Games led by the Chairman Bro Martin Borg, fsc, for all their efforts in the organisation of FISEC Games - 2012 and augurs the best wishes to all the participants.
