St. George's Football Club was the first Maltese football club from the city of Cospicua in the Mediterranean island of Malta. They are currently playing in the Maltese First Division, and is popularly claimed to be the pioneers of Maltese civilian football.

History

During the 1880s, a group of Maltese youngsters were watching English soliders playing football at the "Verdala Barracks"; an officer gave the young Maltese a ball and this was the start of the game on the island [ [http://www.geocities.com/geldof_99/st_geo.html St. George's] ] .

They formed the first ever football club in Malta and named it Santa Margherita, two other clubs emerged soon after; St. Andrews and St. George's. The three clubs in Cospicua came together in 1890, merging to form one club, holding onto the St. George's name.

During the first years of the 20th Century they became Civilian Champions. The best season for the Cospicua team was 1916-17 during which St. George's F.C. won the 'double' by being crowned League Champions and Knock Out Cousis Shield Winners.
