 Punjab Warriors Take Control of Morecambe FC - Kuljeet Singh Momi becomes first Sikh owner in EFL history
In a landmark move, Panjab Warriors has received official clearance from the English Football League (EFL) to proceed with the acquisition of Morecambe Football Club, signalling the start of a promising new chapter in the club's storied journey.

Led by Kuljeet Singh Momi, the Panjab Warriors group has been involved with the club since mid-2024, providing crucial financial support and presenting a vision centered on sustainability, inclusivity, and long-term growth.

This historic move makes Morecambe the first-ever Sikh-owned club in the English Football League.

Momi has pledged to invest in the club's future - from youth development to infrastructure and fan engagement. His goal is to build long-term success while staying true to Morecambe's roots.

"This is about pride, purpose and progress -- not just for the club, but for the community," Momi said.

"This is more than a business venture; it's a commitment to the fans, the town, and the future of Morecambe FC," said Gurpreet Singh, Head of Communications for Panjab Warriors.

Gurpreet further expressed gratitude to the club's Board of Directors and the EFL for their cooperation and support throughout the approval process.

The new ownership has pledged to strengthen ties with local organisations, supporters' groups, and community leaders. In line with its commitment to responsible management, Panjab Warriors plans to engage in sustainability-focused partnerships, including collaboration on local environmental projects.

The group's strategy for Morecambe FC will be anchored in financial discipline, fan-first policies, and a long-term commitment to building both on-field success and off-field unity.

"We believe Morecambe FC's best days lie ahead," Gurpreet Singh added. "By working with the Board, the Shrimps Trust, and the fanbase, we aim to deliver consistently, listen deeply, and keep supporters at the heart of everything we do."

As the deal moves toward finalisation in the coming days, supporters and stakeholders are looking ahead with optimism, anticipating a new era defined by stability, community engagement, and shared ambition.
