Both the organisations for Malta and Switzerland are ‘official’ sports groups established in each country, to help promote new sports not currently part of the Olympic or local Sports Ministries activities. In both cases these bodies are recognised in their individual nations and can help us present and develop the sport of Match Poker actively in each market. This therefore means that we are formally granting recognition to each body to be the National Match Poker Federation in the two countries.
