Mosta F.C.
Mosta Football Club is a Malta, Maltese football (soccer), football club based in the town of Mosta on the island of Malta (island), Malta. They have played in the Maltese Premier League since the 2011–12 season. Mosta FC's eternal rivals are neighbours Naxxar Lions with whom they contest the Derby of Northern Malta otherwise known as the Northern Classic. The context of this derby was that Mosta up until 1608 was considered to be a part of Naxxar even though the people identified differently as Mostin. In that year both Mosta and Għargħur took independence from Naxxar, with both of Gharghur FC and Mosta FC sharing a rivalry with Naxxar Lions; however the derby between Mosta and Naxxar is more fiercely contested as for hundreds of years they were the largest two towns in the Northern Region, and apart from that both clubs are considered to be the best two clubs in the region.
