About Rabat Ajax FC

Rabat Ajax FC is a Maltese football club based in the town of Rabat. Founded in 1930 as Rabat Rovers, the club later went through several name changes and mergers before becoming Rabat Ajax FC in 1980. Known as “The Magpies,” the team has historically competed across different levels of Maltese football and plays its home matches at the Rabat Ajax Football Ground in Mtarfa.

The club experienced its golden era in the mid-1980s, when it became one of the strongest teams in Malta. During this period, Rabat Ajax won back-to-back Maltese Premier League titles in 1984–85 and 1985–86, along with the Maltese FA Trophy in 1986. These achievements marked the peak of the club’s success and established it as a major force in Maltese football history.

In addition to domestic success, Rabat Ajax also represented Malta in European competitions, although with limited results against stronger international opponents. Over time, the club’s performance declined, and it now competes in the lower divisions of Maltese football. Despite this, Rabat Ajax remains an important historic club with a notable legacy in the development of the sport in Malta.
