About Marsaxlokk FC

Marsaxlokk FC is a Maltese football club based in the fishing village of Marsaxlokk in the south of Malta. Founded in 1949, the club is nicknamed “The Southseasiders” and is known for representing a small coastal community with a strong football identity. Over the years, it has competed in various levels of Maltese football and currently participates in the Maltese Premier League.

The club spent much of its early decades moving between the lower divisions, gradually building its structure and competitiveness. After re-entering the Maltese football system in the 1960s, Marsaxlokk progressed through the divisions, achieving promotion to higher tiers at different points in its history. A major breakthrough came in the early 2000s when the club reached the top flight for the first time after winning the First Division.

Marsaxlokk FC’s greatest achievement came in the 2006–07 season when it won the Maltese Premier League title for the first and only time in its history. The club has also participated in European competitions, gaining valuable experience against stronger international opposition. Although its success has fluctuated since its peak, Marsaxlokk remains an important representative of southern Maltese football with a proud local following.
