Mosta Football Club is a Maltese football club based in the town of Mosta on the island of Malta. They have played in the Maltese Premier League since the 2011âÂÂ12 season.
Mosta FC's eternal rivals are their neighbours Naxxar Lions with whom they contest the Derby of Northern Malta otherwise known as the Northern Classic. The context of this derby was that Mosta up until 1608 was considered to be a part of Naxxar even though the people identified themselves as Mostin. In that year both Mosta and Gçargçur gained independence from Naxxar, with both of Gharghur FC and Mosta FC sharing a rivalry with Naxxar Lions; however the derby between Mosta and Naxxar is more fiercely contested as for hundreds of years they were the two largest towns in the Northern Region, and also because they are considered to be the best two clubs in the region.
Mosta F.C. also had a futsal team, which participated in Malta's top futsal league until 2024. The 2014âÂÂ15 season was the last edition of the Enemed Futsal League in which Mosta participated, finishing 7th out of 9 teams. The previous season, Mosta finished 8th out of 15 clubs.
In the quarter-final of the 2014âÂÂ15 cup edition, Mosta F.C. lost 1âÂÂ8 to Luxol St. Andrews.
Currently, only the youth team exists, even producing players for the under-17 and under-19 national teams.
Mosta F.C. lost the final of the 2021âÂÂ22 Youth Futsal League to Sliema Wanderers.
