Fraser Eagle to take snooker fans to Malta Cup

Fraser Eagle will help take snooker fans to one of the game’s most exciting tournaments after becoming a key sponsor of the sport’s Malta Cup.

Fraser Eagle is sponsoring the event along with its Malta-based destination management company Allevents by Fraser Eagle, launched in October.

As part of the sponsorship, Allevents will package a range of excursions to the tournament for snooker fans throughout Europe.

The Malta Cup has become an increasingly popular and entertaining tournament on the world snooker calendar and features many of the games top players, including the world top 16. Last year’s tournament was won by Shaun Murphy and was also notable for former world champion Stephen Hendry’s 700th career century break.

“Over the past few years Malta has established itself as a popular snooker venue, both with top professional players and also with overseas snooker enthusiasts,” says Kevin Dean, Fraser Eagle’s group managing director.

“We look forward to our introduction to the sponsorship pool of The Malta Cup and hope this will be the beginning of a successful relationship which will further strengthen our association with Malta and the event itself.”

The tournament will be played between February 4 and 10 2008 at the Hilton Conference Centre. Allevents will be marketing 4-day and 8-day packages, including tournament entrance tickets in 5-star, 4-star and 3-star hotels, through its website www.alleventsmalta.com from December 1.

Popular television sports network Eurosport will be broadcasting the event on a live and recorded basis, extending the tournament’s reach to over 95 countries and 255 million households.
