à »ejtun Corinthians Football Club is a Maltese football club from the town of à »ejtun, which currently plays in the Maltese Challenge League.
After World War II, the game of football in Malta was re-enacted, falling under the responsibility of the Malta Football Association. Like other local villages and towns, the à »ejtun population eagerly set up a football team, and in 1943 the name of à »ejtun Corinthians first emerged. The team's name was chosen from a football team taking part in the English league. The first committee members of the football club consisted of Joseph Cassar (Club President), Joseph Galea (Vice President), Fortunato Zerafa (General Secretary), and Grazio Cassar, (Treasurer). The official colours of the club's kit are navy blue and sky blue stripes. This colour scheme was first inspired by that of Sliema Wanderers, since at the time many âÂÂZwieten' supported Sliema Wanderers.
The first decade proved to be a good start for à »ejtun Corinthians. The players forming part of the football team were either à »ejtun locals, or sportsmen from the vicinities. In the first seasons, à »ejtun Corinthians placed in the lower divisions of the league. However, thanks to the team's hard work, à »ejtun Corinthians managed to secure honours in the leagues organized by the Malta Football Association in a couple of years. Since then, the team reached its highest placing in the 1960s when a rank in the Second Division was meritoriously secured. This was the golden era of à »ejtun Corinthians with players like Louis Bonello, Reginald Vella James, Anthony Spiteri, Joe Abela and goalkeeper John Formosa. During the 1959/60 season, à »ejtun Corinthians won the double, placing first in the Maltese Third Division classification and the Knockout competition.
During the 1970s the team also had its share of successes. After winning the Maltese Third Division multiple times, à »ejtun Corinthians reached the Maltese Second Division. In the 1980, the Malta Football Association reorganized the National Leagues and for the first time introduced the Maltese Premier League. In the 1981/82, and the following three consecutive seasons, 1986/87, 1987/88, and 1988/89, à »ejtun Corinthians proudly played in the Maltese First Division.
In the early 1990s history repeated itself, in the season 1991/92 à »ejtun Corinthians won the Maltese Third Division championship with a stunning win in a derby decider over Marsaxlokk. In the season 2002/03 à »ejtun Corinthians were declared Champions for the Maltese Third Division, with a prestigious win over eternal rivals St. George's under the presidency of Ludwig Camilleri. The last honour club won was in season 2016/2017 Club won the Second Division Championship.
