Valletta United Water Polo Club is a Water Polo club from Valletta, Malta, and was founded in 1903. The club competes in the Maltese Waterpolo Premier League.[1]

For sponsorship reasons, the club was known as Valletta Videoslots between 2018 and 2020.[2]

The club is currently known as Valletta IZIBET, for sponsorship reasons.

The Club has won 11 Water Polo Premier Divisions (1926, 1950, 1951, 1955, 1956, 1970, 1971, 1973, 1980, 1985, 1990) and 7 Premier KOs, in addition to 2 First Division (2013, 2020) and 2 First Division KOs (2013, 2020).

Premises

The club's premises, on Valletta's Marsamxett side, were left in ruins for a long period of time, with letters appearing in newspapers from 2010.

Member of Parliament Claudio Grech created awareness about the state of the club's premises.[4] Around a month later, the club was given title of the land from the Government of Malta and announced a €2.5 million investment to revamp the club's premises and facilities.[5]
