History.
FC Morristown was founded in 2012 by Scott Kindzierski and Dan Karosen and began play in the Garden State Soccer League (GSSL), an amateur soccer league for teams based in the state of New Jersey. While fully amateur, the team qualified for the 2017 U.S. Open Cup by beating tournament regular Lansdowne Bhoys FC, 3-2. The team advanced to the Second Round by beating NPSL side New Jersey Copa FC, 2-1, before falling to Rochester Rhinos of the United Soccer League, 3-0.
In 2017, the team began working with NPSL side Clarkstown SC Eagles and supplied most of Clarkstown's players and staff. Following the season, Clarkstown Eagles re-branded as FC Motown in late 2017.
The 2018 season was the most successful in the team's short history. With a regular season record of 9-1-0 (27 points) Motown finished atop the Keystone Conference table before winning the conference playoffs all-together by beating West Chester United SC in the final. In the Regional and National Playoff, Motown reached the National Final by beating FC Baltimore, New York Cosmos B, and FC Mulhouse Portland with a combined score of 8-3. In the final, the team would fall at home to Miami FC 2, 3-1, in front of a sold out crowd of 2,143.
Motown still fields a team in the GSSL and are seven-time Super Division Champions, winning the title in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020. Entering the 2018 season, FC Motown had a 23-game undefeated streak in the GSSL before falling to Jackson Lions FC in the middle of the season.
In addition the team was also a Fricker Cup Region 1 finalist in 2016 and regional semifinalist in 2017. The team was also an Amateur Cup Region 1 semifinalist in 2014 and 2015.
