The name change comes on the back of a successful season which saw the club lift the North West Counties First Division South title and gain promotion to the NWCFL Premier Division for the first time in its history.

This will be the second time in the club’s history that our name has been changed. The first occurred in 1949 when we became Wythenshawe Amateurs Football Club from Wythenshawe Lads' Club - our original name from being founded three years earlier.

Despite the change to our name, we want to make one thing clear, we will remain ‘The Ammies’.

Now to our new crest. The name change means we have made subtle changes to our crest, originally designed by former goalkeeper Tex Morris in the 1970s.

We believe the importance of keeping the crest as close to our original identity is paramount. As a result, we have only changed the wording in and around the crest.

The abbreviation of our former name W.A.F.C, which featured inside the red ribbon on our original crest, has now been replaced with 1946 - the year we were founded.

In addition, our new name, Wythenshawe FC, will now be placed below the crest in a curved font.
