Kalkara United Football Club is a Maltese football club from the seaside village of Kalkara, overlooking the Grand Harbour in Malta, which currently play in the Maltese Amateur League A.[1][2]They also play in the annual Maltese FA Trophy.[3]
Football in Kalkara has deep roots and club-wise, can be divided into three periods. Although traces of football in the community go back to 1913, immediately after the second World War, Kalkara United took part in the 3rd Division, with modest success between 1946 and 1949. In 1971 the club was re-formed and nine years later won the 3rd Division Championship (1980). But apart from another 3rd to 2nd Division promotion in 1987, the club had little success in the MFA, closing their doors in 1997. However, in 2004, the current club were formed under the name Kalkara FC, changing their name into the more traditional version of Kalkara United in 2019. So far, their most memorable season has been the 3rd Division 2016/17 campaign, winning the Championship unbeaten with a fine crop of players. The club runs a successful youth nursery and at their training grounds, a new turf pitch was inaugurated in 2010 and eight years later, a new club house was opened.[4]
