Valletta F.C. is a professional football club based in Valletta, the capital city of Malta. They compete in the Maltese Challenge League, the second tier of Maltese football, following relegation from the Maltese Premier League in 2024.[2] The club was founded in 1943 after a merge of Valletta Prestons, Valletta St. Paul's and Valletta United, the latter being a two-time league winner before the Second World War.
Considered one of the most supported and successful clubs in Maltese football,[3] the club has won 25 league titles, 14 FA Trophies and a record 13 Super Cups. During the 2021/22 season the club was sponsored by Meridianbet.[4]
