Qormi Football Club are a Maltese football club from the city of Qormi, which currently plays in the Maltese Premier League.
History
Qormi Football Club was founded in 1961 after the amalgamation of Qormi Youngsters and Qormi United, which is from where the club acquired its motto Fl-Għaqda s-Saħħa, (Template:Lang-en). The club thus celebrated the 40th anniversary in 2001.
Qormi Football Club is affiliated with the Malta Football Association (MFA) which is the main football body in Malta. The Qormi F.C. Youth Nursery is a sub-committee of Qormi F.C. and almost 200 youngsters are affiliated with the nursery.
Qormi Football Grounds (Thomaso Grounds) are situated in Valletta Road, Qormi and the amenities includes pitches, a conference hall, fitness centre, bar and the Qormi F.C. Youth Nursery Head Quarters.
The Qormi official colours are Yellow and Black. Qormi's biggest arch rivals are Zebbug Rangers from neighbouring town of Zebbug, Malta, although they don't play each other often with Zebbug Rangers currently playing in the Maltese Second Division.
The club has spent some of its seasons yo-yo-ing from one division to another, but has recently started to build a more solid pace, progressing slowly but steadily to the upper divisions. Season 2007/08 was the best ever season in the club's recent history. Qormi clinched a second position finish in the Maltese First Division, following a hardly fought play-off penalty win against Mosta F.C., which acquired the club's accession to the Maltese Premier League. Season 2008/09 will be the first season that Qormi will spend in the highest echelons of Maltese football since the old First Division was renamed the Premier League. To prepare for their first Maltese Premier League campaign, Qormi brought in ten new signings and gave a new look to the club's image. The team performed well in pre-season friendlies, which could augur well for the future. Qormi could still have to struggle against relegation like most newly promoted teams in the Premier League. In a press release, the club's committee expressed its aim to stay in top flight and possibly even making it to the Championship Pool.
