Football in Malta is run by the Malta Football Association and was introduced to Malta during British rule in the mid-19th century.[1] The sport at the time was new to England, and was used as a means of entertainment for the soldiers stationed in Malta at the various barracks around Malta at the time. In 1863 a football association was formed which governed rules and regulations for this quickly changing sport, which was still in amateur competition stage and played in an un-scheduled format until 1909 when a league format was introduced.

The association runs the men's national football team, the women's national team, as well as administering the semi-professional[2] Maltese Premier League, Maltese Women's League and the respective cups for club sides.[3]
