history
FC Msida Saint Joseph was founded in 1906. In 1910 the club was one of the founding members of the Civilian Football League . After spectators stormed the field in a game against Sliema Wanderers and then the points were awarded to the opposing team, the club did not appear this season. When after a year break the game was resumed in the league, Saint Joseph was no longer invited. Nevertheless, in 1912 they made it to the final of the Mile End Cup , a predecessor of the Maltese Cup. There they clearly lost 3-0 against St. George's FC .
In the following years, the team played mainly underclass. In 1935 they were promoted to the third division, where they became champions straight away. In 1936 the amateur cup was also won. In 1937, the team narrowly missed the march into the first division. Equal on points with Xewkija Tigers had to decide a playoff about promotion. This was lost 1: 3.
After the Second World War , the club called itself Msida Amateurs and in 1945 became champions of the third division D. A year later, the name was changed to Msida Wolves . Under this name, he was promoted to the second division in 1948. After the descent in 1955, it was renamed Saint Joseph.
1966 succeeded the renewed promotion to the second division and as a master there, the direct march through to the Maltese Premier League . The direct descent was followed by the ascent. But relegation was missed again. In 1975 he was promoted again and this time Saint Joseph was able to stay in the House of Lords for four years.
Until 1992 Saint Joseph played in the second division, then the relegation to the third division and a short time later it went to the fourth division.
In 2001, the team was sovereign with only one defeat champions of the fourth division. The winning streak continued in the third division. The championship succeeded without defeat and the team was not deterred in the second division and also achieved the championship title here and was back in the premier 22 years after the last relegation and three years after they had to compete in the lowest division League.
Although Saint Joseph had to compete in 2004 as penultimate in the relegation round, there they were able to secure relegation as second. In the second season, despite a point deduction, on January 15, 2005, a board member of the club had attacked an assistant referee in the 1-1 draw against Pietà Hotspurs because of a penalty in added time for the opponent. At the same time, the team moved into the cup final for the first time, but had to admit defeat FC Birkirkara 1: 2. In the third season after the promotion, Saint Joseph managed to qualify for the championship round for the first time, but was knocked off last. Also in 2006/07 the fourth place made it into the finals, but again only sixth place jumped out. After the 2009/10 season, the team was relegated to the First Division. In 2011, he was even relegated to the third-class Second Division.
