St. Venera Lightnings F.C.

Santa Venera Lightnings FC is a Maltese football club, founded in 1945 by Mr. Saviour Spiteri. The club's name brings the memory of WW2 as it is titled for the Lightning's Royal Air Force aircraft. This is because Mr. Spiteri was a pilot of this Royal Air Force aircraft. After 75 years, this club has seen a lot of successful years, also though ones. Back in 2018, the Lightnings has been crowned champions with an unbeaten season managed by Mr. Marco Grech. Earlier this year, a new Committee was elected with more than 75% being youths. Its main objective is to regain success in Maltese Football, to bring the most popular sport back to its roots in Santa Venera. Also last July, this club has settled all issues that were between the central committee and the nursery one. From that day onwards one club has been established with the same objective.

Lockheed P-38H Lightning, the same aircraft that Spiteri was a Pilot for the Royal Air Force during WW2.
