Clubs of the Maltese Premier League 2016/17

Only a few stadiums in Malta have the necessary infrastructure to hold regular Premier League matches. These are Ta 'Qali Stadium , Victor Tedesco Stadium , and Hibernians Football Ground . Each team has its own training area, but usually no matches are played on it. The games therefore usually take place on neutral ground, which essentially makes the distinction between home and away games obsolete.
