Marsaskala Football Club is a Maltese football club based in the south-eastern town of Marsaskala. The club was promoted to the Second Division during the 2012/2013 season, but were unfortunately relegated on the last day of the following season. The club currently plays in the Maltese Third Division.
Eager to form a sporting club, a number of Marsaskala residents, notably Daniel Spiteri, Stephen Bell, Dr Zaid Teebi, Joseph Farrugia, Albert Spiteri and Dr. Owen Bonnici, built the 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 revitalized the team to no end as it finished in a respectable eighth 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. In their first four games at the helm they brought in three victories and a draw. Nevertheless, the club was relegated on the last day of the season.
For the 2014–2015 season Marsaskala appointed Vesko Petrovic, formerly of Velez Mostar, Valletta FC and Zabbar St. Patrick as their new coach. Their aim was to consolidate their player pool base and they finished sixth. In June 2015, Petrovic was reconfirmed for the 2015–16 season and Buttigieg was re-elected as club president.
