Ta' Xbiex Sports Club is a Maltese sports club that plays football in the National Amateur League II,[2] from the central locality of Ta' Xbiex.

2012–13 Season

During the 2012–13 season, Ta’ Xbiex Sports Club competed in the Malta Football Association 3rd Division and the Maltese FA Trophy. The campaign proved challenging in league competition, with the club enduring a prolonged winless run, though performances improved slightly during the latter stages of the season. In cup competition, Ta’ Xbiex achieved progression from the preliminary round before elimination by higher-ranked opposition.

Season Overview

Ta’ Xbiex struggled for consistency throughout the league campaign, conceding a high number of goals against several promotion-challenging sides. Despite this, the team recorded notable victories during the second half of the season, including a comprehensive home win against Qrendi F.C. and a late-season home victory over Attard Football Club. An away win against Mtarfa F.C. in April marked the club’s final league victory of the season.

In the FA Trophy, Ta’ Xbiex secured an opening-round victory over Munxar Falcons F.C. before exiting the competition following a heavy defeat away to Gudja United F.C..
