About Valletta FC

Valletta FC is a professional football club based in Valletta, the capital city of Malta. Founded in 1943 through the merger of several local teams, the club represents one of the most important football institutions in the country. Known by nicknames such as “The Lilywhites” and “Citizens,” Valletta has a long-standing presence in Maltese football and regularly competes at the top level.

The club is widely regarded as one of the most successful in Malta, having won around 25 league titles, along with numerous domestic cups including the FA Trophy and a record number of Super Cups. Valletta has enjoyed several dominant periods, particularly in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, when it secured multiple championships and established itself as a consistent title contender.

Valletta FC has also represented Malta in European competitions such as the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Cup, although it has generally faced strong opposition and limited progression. Despite occasional ups and downs, including recent relegation and promotion cycles, the club remains one of the most supported and historically significant teams in Maltese football, with a strong fan base and deep roots in the capital’s sporting culture.
