St. Venera Lightnings F.C.


Santa Venera Lightnings Football Club is a semi-professional football club based in the town of Santa Venera, Malta, which competes in the Maltese National Amateur League II. Their last major success came in 2018 when they won the 2017-18 BOV Division Three title ahead of Mellieħa.
In the following season, during a match against Kirkop United, Santa Venera player Yau Mun Law collapsed on the pitch, requiring a Malta FA paramedic to use an automatic external defibrilator. Mun Law survived the incident and went on to attend the rescheduled match, however concerns were raised around rules regarding medical attendance to lower league matches after it took an ambulance thirty minutes to arrive.
It was announced in June 2025 that Kurt James would take over as manager of the club for the 2025-26 season.
