Victoria Hotspurs Football Club is a Maltese football club from the town of Victoria, Gozo, and that as from the 2024–25 season has become the first ever Gozitan club to switch from the Gozo football league system to the Maltese one.[2]
The club was founded in 1948 and, prior to their migration, has won 13 First Division titles, the last one being in the 2018–19 season. The club is popularly known by the Gozitans simply as il-Hotspurs, which when translated to English literally means The Hotspurs. In 2000, when they won their tenth title, they became the first Gozitan club to be awarded a Golden Star for Sport Excellence.
Moreover, Victoria Hotspurs also became the first - and so far the only - club competing in the Gozo Football League who had a Gozitan player from their ranks debuting and representing Malta in international football matches.[3]
