The Maltese Olympic Committee (MOC) announced that, further to the ongoing investigations into the operations of the Malta Table Tennis Association by the Office of the Commissioner for Voluntary Organisations (OCVO) and the Authority for the Integrity in Maltese Sport (AIMS), the Executive Board of the MOC , during its meeting held on Thursday, 10th July 2025, has unanimously decided to issue a temporary suspension to the Malta Table Tennis Association with immediate effect.  This decision has also received the approval of the MOC General Assembly, which consists of all member national federations. Due to these ongoing investigations, the Executive Board of the Maltese Olympic Committee deems that in the current circumstances it has no option other than to issue a temporary suspension to the Malta Table Tennis Association. The MOC emphasises that this measure is temporary and will be revisited once the outcomes of both current and any possible further investigations are made known to the Committee. Unfortunately, this is the second time in as many years that the internal operations of the same Association have compelled the MOC to take such action. The Committee remains committed to upholding the highest standards of integrity and good governance in Maltese sport.
