Mazuma Mobile Stadium

The Mazuma Mobile Stadium (formerly known as the Globe Arena for sponsorship reasons) is a football stadium in Morecambe, Lancashire, England, which is the home of Morecambe F.C. The stadium opened in 2010, replacing the old Morecambe F.C. stadium, Christie Park, which was Morecambe's home from 1921 to 2010. The stadium holds up to 6,476 supporters, with 2,173 seats available in the Main Stand, which runs the length of one side of the pitch. Opposite the Main Stand is an uncovered terrace with a capacity of 606, giving a similar feel to the ground as that at Christie Park. At either ends of the pitch are the home and away stands, with the home end holding a maximum of 2,234 supporters and the away end having a capacity of 1,389. In the north east corner of the stadium is the Tyson Fury Foundation, which is split between two floors. The building also houses a gym, which was purchased by Tyson Fury in August 2020.

Morecambe F.C.

Morecambe Football Club is a professional association football club based in Morecambe, Lancashire, England. The team plays in the National League, the fifth level of the English football league system. The club was founded in 1920, and is notable for not experiencing relegation from any league until 2023. For their first 48 years they competed in the Lancashire Combination, winning the league title five times, in 1924–25, 1961–62, 1962–63, 1966–67 and 1967–68. They joined the newly-formed Northern Premier League in 1968, remaining in that league until, under manager Jim Harvey, a second-place finish in 1994–95 saw them promoted into the Conference. Having been beaten in the 2003 and 2006 play-off semi-finals, Sammy McIlroy led the club to promotion into the Football League with victory in the 2007 play-off final. In 14 seasons in League Two they reached the play-offs twice, achieving promotion after winning the 2021 League Two play-off final. Following two seasons in League One they were relegated, and two years later they dropped again to the National League. Both relegations were associated with financial problems and Morecambe were briefly suspended from league football during the summer of 2025, with closure of the club perilously close. However, a change in ownership saw debts cleared and the club survived. In cups, Morecambe's biggest win was the FA Trophy in 1974. They also won the Northern Premier League President's Cup in 1992, and the Conference League Cup in 1998. They have reached the FA Cup third round on seven occaisions, and the EFL Cup third round twice. Nicknamed "The Shrimps" due to the coastal town's local speciality food, the club have played home games at the Mazuma Mobile Stadium since moving from their original home at Christie Park in 2010. The club has rivalries with nearby Accrington Stanley, with non-League neighbours Lancaster City of the same council area, and other Lancashire clubs.
