Built Together

Building something together, alongside our community.

AFC Morda United has officially been formed with a clear vision and a shared determination to create something lasting, a club that is part of the community, that grows with it, and that thrives because of it. While this is a new beginning, the club carries forward the rich footballing history of Morda United, honouring five decades of local pride.

This is not about revisiting what has gone before. It is about creating a future that reflects what Morda and the wider Oswestry area deserve: a club built with care, ambition, and shared purpose.

Next season, AFC Morda United will enter the Montgomeryshire Amateur Football League with its flagship Men’s First Team competing at Tier 5 of the Welsh football pyramid. Historically, Morda United’s greatest successes came in Welsh football, and returning to this league feels like a natural homecoming, a chance to establish the club where it has always felt most connected. Starting at this level is a deliberate decision. The aim is to earn progression on the pitch while taking the time to grow the club off it. Strong foundations matter. Building the right culture matters. Creating something that lasts matters.

But this project is about far more than a team on the pitch. Oswestry is a large town without a grassroots football club representing it. There is a gap in the local sporting landscape, and AFC Morda United intends to fill it, not just with football, but with community.

Our ambition is to make Morda United the place to be on a Saturday afternoon. A club where families gather, where young players look up to the first team, where volunteers
feel valued, and where local businesses are proud to be involved. Plans are already in place to create opportunities across the game for men, women, boys and girls as we
build a genuine football family.

The club is proudly led by our new committee: Mathew Edwards, Nathan Bartram, Chris Grommell, Tom Brown, Phil Brown, and Tom Stedman. Together, they bring a wealth of
football experience, with ties to local football, the Montgomeryshire League, and to Morda itself, and they share a common determination to build a sustainable and thriving future for the club.

Together, we have forged a partnership with The Meat Man,
Oswestry, who will serve as the club’s principal partner, strengthening the bond between the club and the wider local community and ensuring the project has the backing it needs to thrive.

This is a new organisation, built by a dedicated committee, but we warmly welcome anyone who has previously supported a Morda side, and those who haven't. The pride in the name remains. The ambition is to honour that pride by delivering a club that our local people can help shape, support, and share in.

An Open Evening will take place on Friday 20th March, 7.30pm, at Morda Social Club, where plans will be presented and ideas shared. Supporters, volunteers and potential sponsors, partners, players and coaches are all invited to attend and become part of, the journey from the very beginning.

AFC Morda United is not simply starting — it is being built with care, ambition, and belief.

This time, it’s being built together.
