Malta - List of Scicluna Cup Finals

In an effort to help local clubs in the early post war period, Mr. Carmel Scicluna, owner of the Empire Stadium, and affectionally known as is-Sur Meme', conceived the idea for this new competition. Named the Scicluna Cup in honour of the proposer and donor of the Cup all proceeds from it were shared between the clubs. It was started in season 1949/50 and for the first two seasons all First Division teams participated, divided in two sections, a cup being won by each section winner. From season 1953/54 it became an annual event contested between the League Champions and Trophy Winners. This competition was abolished in 1965/66 when the Stadium management changed hands and replaced by the Testaferrata Cup.
