LeagueMaltese Third Division

Marsaskala Football Club is a Maltese football club based in Marsaskala. The club was promoted to the Second Division during the 2012/2013 season, but were unlucky to be relegated on the last day of the following season. The club represents the south-eastern town of Marsaskala which has the fastest growing rate on the island.

Its founder members

Eager to form a sporting club, a number of Marsaskala residents, notably Daniel Spiteri, Stephen Bell, Dr Zaid Teebi, Joseph Farrugia, Albert Spiteri assisted by Dr. Owen Bonnici built a team from scratch. They were later joined by Jesmond Mugliett and Dr Reuben Debono, with the latter becoming club president in the third season.

During the first season (2010-2011) the club finished in penultimate position and won the Fair Play award, while in the following season the club contracted Alan Mifsud, formerly of Zejtun Corinthians, as team manager in mid-season. This revitalised the team to no end as it finished in a respectable eight position.

The 2012-2013 season saw a whole revitalised team with a completely revamped look, players and set-up with the inclusion of Joseph Cutajar as assistant coach. The 2012-2013 started with a 3-0 win over Victoria Hotspurs in the first round of the U*BET Trophy and the team had an excellent cup run going out in the fourth round against Zebbug Rangers.

The season was a highly successful one as Marsaskala FC finished third in the league and therefore obtained promotion to the Second Division in their third season since their conception.

In November 2013, the club appointed a new coach, Louis Facciol who brought his assistant Frans Mallia. Their first four games at the helm have brought in three victories and a draw. Nevertheless, the club was relegated on the last day of the season, being pipped by Dingli Swallows.

For the 2014-2015 they appointed Vesko Petrovic, formerly of Velez Mostar, Valletta FC and St. Patrick's as their coach. Their aim was to consolidate their player pool base and they finished sixth. Petrovic was reconfirmed for the 2015-16 season.
