The local football team, Morda United F.C. were founded in 1951 and play their home games at Western Road with a capacity of approximately 50, although legend does have it that it once took over 300 for a County Cup encounter between Morda and local rivals Kidderminster Harriers. They play their football in the Shropshire county premier league and have scarcely moved from the division since they were founded in 1951.

Their most famous players include Colin Turner, Alan Richards, Derek Graham and Ernie Clarke; but no one in the area has heard of them.

Their squad today however has had a recent revamp, with former player and now manager Colin Turner bringing in a lot of youth to the club in an effort to propel Morda up the leagues towards the Nationwide Conference.

Ex Shrewsbury Town FC players Elliot Eaton, Chris Catherall, Michael Pugh have recently signed for the club and Ex Stoke City F.C player Jack Harris also signed. Along with Elliott Howes who once plied his trade at Accrington Stanley F.C.
