History

Malampa Revivors was founded in 2010 by Elder Shem Dahmassing, as a youth ministry within the Youth Fellowship program of Centenary Presbyterian Church, at Sarakata in Luganville. The club has its focus on promoting and bringing up youths in religious aspects, together with football. Most of the current players still attend the Youth Fellowship of Presbyterian Church. In 2015 Malampa Revivors FC made headlines when they reached the final of the 2015 VFF National Super League after a 2-1 victory over Port Vila topclub Ifira Black Bird. In the final they lost to Amicale but because of the new format of the OFC Champions League, in which has been decided that two Vanuatu clubs will play at the OFC Champions League Malampa also qualified for the OFC Champions League. When the final was played this had not been announced yet. But it means that Malampa Revivors will play at the 2017 OFC Champions League for the first time.
