It was 1935 when the M.F.A. started its campaign so that each city and village will be represented by one team. Obviously during that time, as we have already said, St. Paul's and the Prestons were the big teams in Valletta and negotiations for the amalgamation had to start. It took a long time and there were arguments between the two clubs. There was also a delay due to the War, but at the end of the second World War, football started again, so did the M.F.A. Competitions.

In 1943, the amalgamation took place between Valletta St. Prestons and St. Paul's. Originally the notes read that they were named Valletta St. Paul's but such name was immediately changed into the Valletta F.C. In this amalgamation between St. Paul's Valletta Prestons there were number of people connected with, referring to these two Clubs' Committees, but particularly one must name Guze Muscat who was the President of St. Paul's, Emanuel Calleja and Joseph Salinos known as the 'Chief' who both were the 'factotum' of the Prestons. These three persons worked hard in fact they also formed part of Valletta F.C. for many years.

Valletta United 1914-15

One must say that regulation number 3 of the statute, says that Valletta F.C. must recognize Valletta United, St. Paul's, Valletta City and Valletta Prestons as well as those who precede them. That is why Valletta F.C. prove that before the war they won the Championship twice, these had been won by Valletta United. With this regulation no. 3, they had to accept that one of the amalgamated clubs Valletta St.Paul's was relegated to the 2nd division in season 1939-40, while the other club Valletta Prestons were 2nd division champions in season 1939-40.

On the re-opening of the M.F.A. activities after the World War II, Valletta F.C. had a great success, and in the first season 1943/44, the M.F.A. had created the Malta Cup instead of the league. At first the Malta Cup had the significance of being the Championship, but then the M.F.A. decided it was to be played on knock-out basis, owing that football had just been revived after the war. Valletta F.C. reached the final against Floriana where the youthful Valletta Team which consisted of St. Paul's and Prestons' players was up against an experienced Floriana team. Yet, Valletta rose to the occasion and defeated Floriana by 2-1.

This beautiful Malta Cup is to this day in the Club and it is one of the most precious honours that the Valletta F.C. have won. Between 1943 and 1948, Valletta F.C. won three Championships - in 1944/45, 1945/46 and 1947/48 - and they also won the Cassar Cup in the year 1944/45.

When we mention the Cassar Cup, at that time this was considered as the true Malta Champion because in this Cup very good British Services' Teams mixed with Maltese ones to take part. Then there was a barren spell from 1948/49 to 1958/59, where Valletta F.C. did not win any major honours.
