History

There is little evidence about football in Għargħur between 1960 and 1974, with some participation in amateur participation that got stronger in early seventies. Għargħur St Albert was founded in 1971 and later Mr Joseph Debono felt the ambition to take the club to a higher level. After participating in the MFA Amateur League, first game 30th September 1973 win 3-1 over Florid Lions (Cospicua) and eventually winning the title.[2]

The club was subsequently named as Għargħur Football Club and formalised during its first General meeting on 8th June 1974. After ten challenging years, and following changes in national leagues, Għargħur FC earned the first promotion in 1983/1984, coached by Tony Cordina. The unbeaten team won Section B with just some points lost in tie games against St. Lucija, Luqa St. Andrews, and Fgura United.[2]
