Balzan FC
Malta · Founded: 1937
Balzan FC is a Maltese professional football club based in the village of Balzan. Founded in 1937 as Balzan Youths, the club later adopted its current name in 2012. It competes in the Maltese Premier League and has become one of the notable teams in Maltese football, especially since establishing itself in the top division in 2010.
The club experienced a significant rise in the 2010s, regularly competing near the top of the league standings. Balzan finished as runners-up in the Maltese Premier League in the 2016–17 and 2017–18 seasons and qualified for European competitions for several consecutive years. During this period, it also reached the final of the Maltese FA Trophy in 2015–16, narrowly missing out on the title.
A historic milestone came in 2019 when Balzan FC won its first major trophy, the Maltese FA Trophy, after defeating Valletta in the final. This success marked the peak of the club’s achievements and confirmed its emergence as a competitive force in Maltese football. Despite being a relatively smaller club, Balzan continues to build on its progress and maintain a presence at the top level of the domestic game.
