Although football in Birkirkara dates back to 1916 when Birkirkara United were founded, the present club were founded in 1950. The club made a promising start amongst the elite of Maltese football as they finished as league runners-up in their very first season (1952/53). However, for decades continuing, Birkirkara FC have been languishing between the two top divisions in Malta, winning the Maltese 2^nd level league on no less than eight occasions. In 1973 and 1990, Birkirkara were FA Trophy finalists, but lost both Finals. The change came in 1996 when Victor Zammit was elected as club President and reformed Birkirkara FC into a club challenging for national titles. On their 50^th Anniversary in 2000, Birkirkara were crowned Champions of Malta for the first time ever in history. In 2016, Birkirkara became the very first Maltese team surviving two rounds in any European Cup competition, including a historic victory over Scottish giants Heart of Midlothian. The club can be counted amongst one of the most progressive on the islands, with a professional set-up, including a very successful youth academy. Birkirkara is one of the founder-members of the ECA, the European Club Association in 2008.
