Hamrun Spartans have etched their name into the history books of Maltese football, becoming the first team in 20 years to achieve the remarkable feat of winning three consecutive Premier League titles. This sustained period of dominance underscores their strength and consistency within the league.
Since the Premier League’s inception in the 1980/81 season, only two other clubs had previously managed a three-peat: the last being Sliema Wanderers between the 2002/03 and 2004/05 seasons. Hamrun Spartans’ recent triumph breaks this two-decade-long gap, highlighting the significance of their achievement.
Looking back at league statistics, the rarity of such prolonged success becomes even clearer. Valletta were the last team to win four titles in five years, a feat they accomplished between the 1996/97 and 2000/01 seasons.
Now, Hamrun Spartans have their sights set on even more historical milestones. If they manage to secure a fourth consecutive Premier League title in the upcoming season, they would become the first club in the Premier League era (since 1980/81) to achieve such unprecedented dominance. Furthermore, this would mark the first time in over 70 years that a Maltese team has won four consecutive championships, a record last held by Floriana between the 1949/50 and 1952/53 seasons.
As Hamrun Spartans continue their impressive run, they are not only celebrating a historic achievement but also setting their sights on further glory, potentially rewriting Maltese football history once again. The next season promises to be a thrilling one as they aim to achieve a fourth consecutive title, a feat unmatched in the modern era.
