Hibernians Football Club is a Maltese professional football club based in the town of Paola.

History

The club played one season in 1922 as Constitutionals FC, representing the pro-British Constitutional Party.[2] They started up again in the 1927–28 season and became a top amateur side, winning the Amateur League in 1930–31.[2]

Meanwhile, the Constitutional Party had upset the Catholic Church so much that, in May 1930, Catholics were told not to vote for the party. The football club changed its name a year later to Hibernians Football Club[2] as a nod to Hibernian, the club founded by Irish Catholics in Edinburgh. They won their first match as Hibernians 2–1, against HMS Antelope in October 1931.[2] They had to wait for a place to become available in the professional league, but in January 1933 they joined the league with a 3–1 victory over Sliema Rangers. They have stayed in the top division ever since.[2]

Hibernians faced a long period of decline followed the success of the 1980s to the end of the decade.[2] Hibernians have a futsal team, which plays in Malta's top futsal league, the Premier Futsal League.[citation needed]
