Go malta! Floriana Football Club (usually simply known as Floriana) is a football club in Floriana, Malta.
Floriana Football Club was founded in 1894, and together with St. George's FC, is one of the two oldest clubs in Malta. During that period, football in Malta was introduced by the British Servicemen who were stationed on the island which was then a colony of the British Empire.
The club is affiliated to the Malta Football Association which in turn is both a member of UEFA and FIFA.
The team, which plays in green and white, is nicknamed The Irish, after having adopted its colours following a friendly match against the Irish Fusiliers who were stationed in Malta at the time.
Floriana Football Club has won the major Maltese League championship for 25 times.
