Anu's Birkirkara retain BOV Women's League title as Abera emerges top scorer in Malta

Ethiopia's Loza Abera emerged top scorer in Malta as she and Nigeria's Esther Anu celebrated their first Maltese BOV Women's Premier League title with Birkirkara.

The development comes on the decision of the Malta Football Federation (MFF) to prematurely terminate the 2019-20 football season due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

In a statement on Monday: the MFF disclosed 'the first-placed teams at the time when the competitions were suspended due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and subsequently terminated, are declared winners of their respective leagues (2019/20). This applies to these championships – BOV Premier League, BOV first division, BOV second division, BOV third division, BOV Women’s League, Women’s Under-19 League, Women’s Under-15 League, Youth Leagues Section A, B, C, D, E, Futsal Elite and Futsal Amateur Leagues.
