Football in Malta

The Maltese football leagues system of association football is made up of a set of leagues organised and controlled by the Malta Football Association. Malta has had a top level football division since 1909, it continues on today with the current system.

Level	League/Division
1	Maltese Premier League 12 clubs
2	Maltese First Division 12 clubs
3	Maltese Second Division 14 clubs
4	Maltese Third Division 15 clubs

There are hopes in the future that Gozitan clubs from the Gozo Football League First Division and the Gozo Football League Second Division may enter the Maltese Leagues in order to have an opportunity of playing in Europe.
