Dhalia Real Estate announces partnership with Sliema Wanderers FC for the 2026/27 season

Dhalia Real Estate has announced its partnership with Sliema Wanderers Football Club for the 2026/27 season, becoming the club’s exclusive real estate partner.

The collaboration brings together two established Maltese names, each with a longstanding connection to the communities they serve.

The partnership was made official during a meeting between Dhalia Chief Executive Officer Adrian Grech and Sliema Wanderers President Walter Arciola. A Dhalia shirt marked the occasion, signalling the beginning of a relationship that brings the property sector and local football together.

For Dhalia, joining forces with Sliema Wanderers is an opportunity to support a club with a rich sporting history while strengthening its involvement in the wider community. Football has a unique ability to bring people together, from families attending matches to young players working towards their ambitions. The collaboration reflects Dhalia’s belief in the value of building relationships that extend beyond its day-to-day business.

A shared connection to Malta

Established in 1982, Dhalia has become Malta’s largest privately owned real estate agency. With a branch network spanning Malta and Gozo, the company has spent more than four decades helping individuals and families buy, sell and rent property, while supporting businesses and investors with their real estate needs.

Throughout its growth, Dhalia has retained a focus on personal service, local knowledge and lasting relationships. Its teams of property consultants work closely with clients through decisions that often represent significant milestones, whether that means finding a first home, moving to a new area or making a long-term investment.

That same emphasis on people and community sits at the heart of the new partnership. Supporting local sport offers another way for Dhalia to remain involved in the places where its clients and colleagues live, work and spend their free time.

Dhalia also has a direct connection to Sliema through its branch on Tower Road, where its consultants assist people seeking property in and around the area. The locality is known for its coastal setting, residential neighbourhoods and busy commercial streets, making it a familiar part of the company’s work.

Partnering with a football club so closely associated with the town gives that local presence another dimension. It links the everyday work of helping people find a place to call home with the pride that residents and supporters feel in their community.

A club with a proud history

Sliema Wanderers have been part of Maltese football since 1909 and remain one of the country’s most decorated clubs. With 26 league championships and 22 FA Trophy titles, the Blues have played an important role in shaping the domestic game for more than a century.

The club’s history is about more than its trophy cabinet. Generations of players, coaches, volunteers and supporters have contributed to its identity, making Sliema Wanderers a familiar name both in the town and across the Maltese Islands.

The 2026/27 season also represents a period of renewed ambition for the club under President Walter Arciola. As the team works towards its goals on the pitch, relationships with local businesses can help strengthen the connections between the club, its supporters and the wider community.

Looking beyond the pitch

The partnership is not simply about bringing two brands together. It is also an acknowledgement of the role that football plays in everyday Maltese life and of the importance of supporting organisations that create opportunities for people to connect.

That wider football community includes young supporters and aspiring players who look up to established clubs such as Sliema Wanderers. For many, the game provides an early introduction to teamwork, commitment and perseverance: qualities that are equally valuable outside sport.

Dhalia has long emphasised the importance of training and professional development within its own organisation. Although real estate and football operate in different environments, both rely on dedicated people, good teamwork and a willingness to keep improving. These common values provide a natural foundation for the relationship.

As exclusive real estate partner for the season, Dhalia looks forward to standing alongside Sliema Wanderers, supporting the club and sharing in the excitement of the months ahead.

The company extends its best wishes to the players, coaching staff, committee and supporters for a successful 2026/27 campaign. Through this collaboration, Dhalia hopes to contribute to the continued sense of pride and community surrounding one of Malta’s best-known football clubs.
