Mgarr United F.C. is a Maltese Football Club, based in the small village of Mgarr. The club was founded in 1967 following the dissolution of Mgarr Eagles F.C.[1] The club's first success came in 2006–2007 when they won the BOV Third Division. In 2018–2019 the club managed to reach the Second Division play off final but lost to Vittoriosa Stars 3–2 in extra time.[2][3] They were relegated after finishing 10th in the Maltese Challenge League B and played in the Maltese National Amateur League in the 2022–23 and 2023-24 seasons. They were promoted back to the Maltese Challenge League at the end of the 2023-24 season.[4][5]
