For the
first 50 years of its existence,
Ghajnsielem F.C. survived as an
organization in part thanks to the
generous contributions of its supporters
and members here and abroad, in part due
to the low cost of its operations.The
Club's players were local youth to whom
wearing the storied Black & White shirt
was ample compensation for their
services to the Club. The Club's coaches
from Carmelo Mallia to Peter Caruana
never demanded any compensation for the
time and effort they expended at the
Club. Training and player equipment was
amply covered by membership fees and
member donations. The club premises'
rent, operating and maintenance cost
were negligible.
Towards the
mid-eighties football in Gozo started to
change. There was a marked rise in the
movement of players between clubs, and
the introduction of Maltese and foreign
players. Local clubs started to look at
commercial enterprises for support. Thus
the concept of club sponsorship took
hold in Gozo. Although the Club could
not boast of the best sponsorship deals
in Gozo, the various committees should
be commended for the deals struck in the
late eighties and early nineties. In
recent years, however, the Club has
sought to rely on its resources and
those of a few deep-pocketed supporters,
and has shied away from sponsorship
deals. The launching of the official
website of the Club and the constantly
growing interest in it has provided the
Club with a unique opportunity to
reverse this trend. It is anticipated
that sponsorship funds attracted by
exposure on the website will not only
cover the costs of running the website
but will contribute positively to the
Club's bottom line.

Recently,
the Club was heavily funded by Club
president Raymond Grech, and the logo of
his New York registered company has been
displayed on the front of the first
team's shirts. The Blacks have also been
backed as far as their equipment needs
are concerned by Urban Jungle, local
agents for Nike sportswear. The Urban
Jungle name and logo is displayed on the
upper back of the first team's Nike
shirts. Numerous other sponsors have
been welcomed aboard and advertising
boards bearing their name, logos and
contact information have been hoisted on
the fence surrounding the Dun Karm
Cassar training ground.
Today, the main sponsor of the club is
Yellow Fun Watersports, one of the
island's top watersports centres. The
team is also backed by
Urban Jungle, a partnership which is now
over five years old.
