Lija Athletic Football Club, commonly referred to as Lija Athletic, is a football team originating from the village of Lija, Malta. The present club was founded in 1949 and has competed in the Maltese Premier League five times. During the 2023–24 Maltese Challenge League campaign, Lija Athletic finished the first round in 8th position, trailing 5 points behind the Top 6 teams. Consequently, they were slated to compete in the Play-Out section for the remainder of the season. However, Lija secured their place in the Challenge League early by defeating Żejtun 1–0, with 3 games still to play.

At the final committee meeting of the 2023-24 season, Peter Fenech announced he would be stepping down as president of Lija Athletic . On June 13, 2024, at the Annual General Meeting (AGM), Colin Ciantar was announced as his successor.
