About Floriana FC

Floriana FC is one of the oldest and most successful football clubs in Malta, based in the town of Floriana. Founded in 1894, it is among the pioneers of Maltese football and currently competes in the Maltese Premier League. The club is widely known by its nicknames “Tal-Irish” and “The Greens,” reflecting its traditional green-and-white colors and historical connections with Irish regiments.

Throughout its history, Floriana has established itself as a dominant force in Maltese football, winning 26 league titles and more than 20 FA Trophy titles. The club enjoyed major success across different eras and remains one of the most decorated teams in the country.
