Morecambe Football Club welcomed open age women's team into the Shrimps family last season, after agreeing a partnership to support and develop the growth of Women’s Football in the area, and for the first time, formally bring local, established open age Women’s team into the ‘MFC Family’.

The team represent Morecambe Football Club at open age level, and currently compete in Division One of the North West Regional Women’s League, the sixth tier in the Women’s Football Pyramid.

The team can be traced back to 2005, when Sophie Fish formed Lancaster and Morecambe Ladies FC to provide an opportunity for females to play football in the district - within 12 months, Nick Barrett joined as chairman. The open age team is fed into by Morecambe Girls FC, a junior section which started in 2018, with Sophie and Nick as the driving force, supported by an enthusiastic committee of volunteers and coaches.

The partnership sees Morecambe Football Club Women access improved training facilities in the area, as well as opportunities to play fixtures at the Mazuma Mobile Stadium across the season, with this fixture the first one of the 2023/24 campaign.
