Football club Hamrun Spartans was formed in 1907. The club colors are black and red. Spartans play their home matches at Victor Tedesco Stadium in Hamrun with the capacity of 2000 spectators, and the Eurocup matches are played at Ta' Qali National Stadium.

The Black-Reds won the Maltese Cup for 6 times, and the Super Cup for 5 times. Hamrun regularly competed in the Eurocups in the 80s and early 90s, but they never overcome the first stage. Last year, the Spartans had the best result in the Conference League. Hamrun defeated Armenian Alashkert in the first round, then missed Bosnian Velej Mostar, beat Sofia Levski in the third round and only lost to Partizan Belgrade in the playoffs. This year, Hamrun started competing in the Champions League, but lost the first stage against Maccabi Haifa (0-4 and 1-2) and moved to the Conference League.
