About Żurrieq FC

Żurrieq FC is a Maltese football club based in the town of Żurrieq. Founded in 1949, the club is one of the main sporting institutions in its locality and is commonly known as “The Reds” due to its traditional colors. It currently competes in the Maltese Challenge League and participates in national competitions organized by the Malta Football Association.

The club enjoyed its most successful period during the 1980s, when it established itself as a competitive side in Maltese football. Żurrieq FC finished as runners-up in the Maltese Premier League in the 1986–87 season and won the Maltese FA Trophy in 1985, also reaching the final on two other occasions. These achievements represent the peak of the club’s domestic success.

Żurrieq FC has also represented Malta in European competitions, taking part in the UEFA Cup and the European Cup Winners’ Cup during the 1980s, although it did not progress beyond the early rounds. In more recent years, the club has competed mainly in lower divisions, focusing on development and maintaining its presence in Maltese football. Despite limited modern success, it remains an important historic club with a strong local identity.
