Exiles Sports Club is a Maltese waterpolo team (it also has a swimming team), currently playing in the top tier Maltese Waterpolo Premier League. The club was founded in 1967 and hails from Sliema.[1] The team is currently known as Exiles Elia Caterers for sponsorship reasons.[2]

The Exiles Club is situated beneath one of the De Redin towers; this is portrayed on the club's crest.[3]

The club is named after the Exiles beach, of which the name is unclear: either after a mispronunciation of a Customs and Excise Office that was once stationed on the bay, or after Russian exiles settled in the area after the Bolshevik Revolution.[4] It is worth noting that before the club was built, a hut stood in the location, which acted as the seat of the Malta Eastern Club, which was an exclusive club for Cable & Wireless St. Julian's branch employees, taking the name from the Eastern Telegraph Company.[5]

The club celebrated its 50-year anniversary in 2017.[6]

The club operates a Beach Lido.[7]
