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. They started up again in the 1927–28 season and became a top amateur side, winning the Amateur League in 1930–31.
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 as a nod to Hibernian, the club founded by Irish Catholics in Edinburgh. They won their first match as Hibernians 2–1, against HMS in October 1931. 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.
Hibernians faced a long period of decline followed the success of the 1980s to the end of the decade. Hibernians have a futsal team, which plays in Malta's top futsal league, the Premier Futsal League.[]
The team's colors are green and white, and they play their home matches at the Hibernians Stadium, which has a capacity of 2,968 spectators. Hibernians have a strong fan base and are known for their passionate supporters who create a lively atmosphere at their matches.
Hibernians have won numerous domestic titles, including the Maltese Premier League, Maltese FA Trophy, and Maltese Super Cup. They have also competed in European competitions, representing Malta on the international stage.
The team is known for their attacking style of play and talented players who have gone on to represent the Maltese national team. Hibernians have a reputation for developing young talent and providing opportunities for local players to showcase their skills.
Overall, Hibernians Football Club is a respected and successful team in Maltese football, with a proud history and a bright future ahead.
