Naxxar Lions Football Club is a football club from the town of Naxxar in the northern part of Malta. Founded in 1920, it was the first football club in the north of Malta. The club had a very positive period in the 1940s and after some years languishing in the lower divisions, the club had several years of glory. Michael Zammit Tabona was appointed president in the 80's, establishing the club as one of the best on the island, playing for several years in the Maltese Premier Division. After being relegated from the top league at the beginning of the new century, the club had to face a difficult period and was relegated to third division a few years ago. Following the recent successful seasons Naxxar Lions were promoted from 3rd Division to 2nd Division in season 2009–10, from 2nd Division to 1st Division in season 2010–11 and maintaining 1st Division status in season 2011–12 placing in 6th position. In the 2012–13 season Naxxar Lions gained promotion to the Maltese Premier League. After a good season in 2014–15 Naxxar Lions faced their Rivals Mosta FC and automatically sent them to a relegation play-off which they eventually won. Naxxar Lions also have a futsal team.
