Mosta

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 2011–12 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 Għargħur gained independence from Naxxar, with both of Għargħur F.C. 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.
