Swieqi United

Swieqi United Football Club is a Maltese football and futsal club representing the municipality of Swieqi. The club was created by a group of University Students and Swieqi residents. Founded in 2009, the club has a strong local fan-base, especially amongst young people on the island. The team plays in Orange shirts (a fusion of the red and yellow of Swieqi) and uses blue as the away kit. As a student-run club, it has an emphasis on encouraging young people to play football. The club's symbol is the Owl – a reference to the students who founded Swieqi United Football Club. The club is registered with the Malta Football Association and is registered with the Malta Sports Council. Despite being set up a mere eight years ago, the club has already achieved promotion to the 1st Division, has opened its own premises, launched an Under 19s team and established a Youth Academy.
