The BOV Volleyball Marathon in aid of id‑Dar tal‑Providenza is back with 53 hours of non‑stop play in the Home’s Siġġiewi car park. The 15th edition of the marathon will get under way by H.E. Dr Myriam Spiteri Debono, President of Malta, on Friday 18th July at 6.30pm and end at midnight of Sunday July 20th 2025. Forty players, selected after six weeks of training, will form 5 teams and enter the challenge of fifty‑three hours of continuous volleyball not for any personal gain but to help others.

In a short address, Mgr Martin Micallef, Director of Id‑Dar tal‑Providenza, during the presentation of the players to the media said that this year we are celebrating the 15th edition of this marathon as well as the 60th anniversary of the Home. He spoke about the dire need of funds with which Id‑Dar tal‑Providenza can continue offering the residential services it offers to 115 persons. He revealed that the Home is in the process of opening more homes in the community. He urged one and all to attend this activity and support the players that enter this challenge with a lot of dedication and commitment.

In a comment to the media, Mr Ernest Agius, BOV’s Chief Operations Officer, said that this marathon is more than a game – it is a testament to the power of unity. When sport meets solidarity, we build a stronger, more compassionate Malta. At BOV, we are proud to stand beside those who never stop believing in a just and better society.

On Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings between 9.00pm and midnight there will be live entertainment provided by local singers and bands on the main stage purposely built in the car park. On Friday Zone 5 will be performing, on Saturday it’s the turn of the Kantera folk band whilst on Sunday night the Spiteri Lucas Band will provide the entertainment.
