It was founded in 1985, and joined the Maltese Football Association in 1994, who went strait to the top division by achieving promotions season after season without interruption mostly first place and second place. This record is recognized by FIFA that Xgħajra Tornadoes FC Malta is the only club in Europe if not in the world who from nowhere “not established before” has done this difficult task. This club took also part in the Maltese Premier League in Season 1997/1998 and Season 1999/2000.
