Bank of Valletta, in collaboration with the Malta Basketball Association, has announced the BOV Players of the Month for December across the BOV Men’s 1st Division, Women’s 1st Division, and the BOV Amateur League. The awards celebrate the exceptional performances and leadership shown throughout the month by Eugene Campbell (Valletta), Olivia Wikström (Luxol), and Nikša Živković (Depiro Hoops).

Ernest Agius, Chief Operations Officer at Bank of Valletta, presented the custom made trophies to the three winners.

Valletta’s 30-year-old, 190cm guard Eugene Campbell, made an immediate impact with a series of strong performances. Across December, he averaged 39.37 minutes per game and scored 103 points in three outings, making him the league’s top scorer for the month. His ability to draw 6.67 fouls per game, combined with his athletic play, scoring strength, and on court leadership, has firmly established him as one of the division’s standout newcomers. Valletta coach Harry Savaya accepted the award on behalf of Eugene Campbell who was not available for the presentation.

Luxol’s Olivia Wikström claimed her second BOV Player of the Month award of the season after another dominant set of performances. She led the league in scoring with 96 points across three games, topped the steals and fouls suffered charts, and added 15 rebounds and 3.70 assists per game. Her shooting efficiency, 73% from the free throw line and 48% from three point range highlighted her all around influence and her central role in Luxol’s ongoing success.

Depiro Hoops’ Nikša Živković, last season’s BOV Fair Play Award recipient, earned the BOV Amateur League Player of the Month title after delivering consistent and reliable contributions. He averaged 16 points per game for a total of 48 across three matches and achieved a 77% success rate from the free throw line. His efficiency, composure, and team first mentality continue to make him an important figure for Depiro Hoops.

The BOV Player of the Month Awards recognise exceptional performance, sportsmanship, and positive impact on the sport. Bank of Valletta remains committed to supporting and developing the Maltese basketball community while celebrating athletes who embody dedication and excellence.
