Carlisle United is a professional football club currently competing in the English National League, the fifth tier of English football, following a heartbreaking relegation from League Two. Based in Carlisle, Cumbria, they are the only professional club in the county and play at Brunton Park. Founded in 1903, the club's colors are blue and white. Carlisle's history is marked by dramatic highs and lows. Their peak era came in the 1970s when they spent a season in the old First Division, the top flight of English football, and won the Football League Trophy. The club is also famous for its remarkable 1999 Football League Trophy final victory at Wembley. The modern era has been challenging, with financial constraints and battles against relegation, culminating in their recent drop out of the Football League. However, the fan base, known for their incredible traveling support, remains fiercely loyal. The current mission is clear: to secure an immediate return to the EFL and restore pride to a club with a proud and unique history.
