Siggiewi

The first football team in Siggiewi was formed in 1945 by a group of amateurs, who used to play casual football in a field at Ta' Kandja. Reggie Pace, Ninu Mallia and Freddie Curmi were the main promoters of the game. Mr Emilio Camilleri, who had settled in the village during the war period and was an influential person within the circles of the Malta Football Association, helped the team to be admitted in the third division of the Maltese Football League for the 1946–47 season.

Siġġiewi's first ever match was a friendly match against Pioneer Corps in 1944. Siġġiewi won the match two-nil. Siġġiewi made their competitive debut on 11 November 1945 in a match valid for the Anglo Maltese Minors Cup. Siġġiewi, who back then used to play in red shirts and white shorts, faced Vittoriosa Rovers and lost heavily by the score of five-nil. Almost a year later, specifically on 13 October 1946, Siġġiewi debuted in the Maltese third division under the name Siġġiewi United. Siġġiewi faced Sliema Amateurs and the latter scored three goals without reply from Siġġiewi. Siġġiewi United participated in the 1947–48 season, which ultimately was the last time the team played under that name. Indeed, after sitting out the 1948–49 season, Siġġiewi participated in the 1949–50 season, however this time under the current name of Siġġiewi F.C.

The team continued to play in the Third Division for many years until, in 1970–71, they won one of the sections of the Third Division for the first time and were promoted to the Second Division. They won the Third Division again in 1973–74 and 1989–90. In the 1996–97 season, Siggiewi FC were promoted for the first time to the First Division, the second tier of the Maltese football league system. Siġġiewi plied their trade in the First Division for just two seasons, as they reverted to the lower divisions after 1998–99, where they have remained ever since.

Mr Karmenu Vassallo was the first president of the club, and he retained the post for the next eight consecutive years. Mr Nicholas Pace was chosen as the first secretary. Thereafter, these postes were held by several other persons. For instance, Gozitan-born Mr Anthony Buttigieg, served as president for 23 years and in 1987 he was nominated honorary president for life. Mr Reggie Pace and the well-known sports personality Mr John Debattista, both occupied the post of secretary for many years.

In 1972, Siġġiewi FC managed to obtain on lease the land at Hesri, where the present Siggiewi Ground now stands.
