Valletta United Water Polo Club is a waterpolo club from Valletta, Malta. The club competes in the Maltese Waterpolo Premier League.

For sponsorship reasons, the club will be known as Valletta Videoslots in 2018.[1]

Premises

The club's premises, on Valletta's Marsamxett side, were left in ruins for a long period of time, with letters appearing in newspapers from 2010.[2] Things seemed to have remained the same till 8 years later, when Nationalist Party Member of Parliament Claudio Grech created awareness about the state of the club's premises.[3] Around a month later, the club was given title of the land from the Government of Malta and announced a €2.5 million investment to revamp the club's premises and facilities.[4]
