The Marsa Sports Club is a non-profit private club managed by a committee with the assistance of a permanent staff. Committee members work on a purely honorary basis. The various sports sections, are in turn controlled by their own honorary sub-committees. One of these is the Polo Club, which is reputed to be the first polo club in the western hemisphere, whilst the golf club was founded in 1888.The United Services Sports Club, as it was then known, was inaugurated on 15th August 1901 to provide a permanent home for the Polo and Golf clubs and to serve as a recreational centre for the British Forces then stationed on the island. The
club became civilian in 1971 and numerous changes have been
made since then, perhaps the most significant of which was the
grassing of the golf course.The club now provides facilities
for no less than eight sports disciplines and boasts of a membership
nearing 4000; the majority of whom are Maltese citizens but
including also a large number of expatriate members who have
made Malta their home or are working here. The Club also welcomes
several thousand visitors per year. WE
