Morecambe FC is a professional football club based in the seaside town of Morecambe, England, currently competing in the English National League, the fifth tier of the English football pyramid. The Shrimps, founded in 1920, play their home matches at the Mazuma Stadium, a compact ground close to the coast. The team's colors are red and white. Under the ownership of the Bond Group and managed by Ged Brannan, the club has a history of punching above its weight. The club was formed from the merger of two local sides and is named after its hometown. The peak era of the club's history undoubtedly came in 2021 when they achieved promotion to EFL League One for the first time ever by winning the League Two playoff final at Wembley Stadium, defeating Newport County. In the modern era, after relegation back to League Two and then the National League, the club is rebuilding with a focus on sustainable growth. The current squad features key players like striker Michael Mellon. The team culture is defined by a close-knit, community-oriented fan base, with the mascot Christie the Cat being a beloved figure. The atmosphere at the Mazuma is famously friendly and vocal, as the Shrimps aim for an immediate return to the Football League.
