Millwall Football Club are a football team based at the 20,146 capacity New Den Stadium in south-east London, England. They currently play in the First Division of the Football League.

Their team nickname is The Lions, derived from their club emblem. Their traditional strip consists of vertical blue and white stripes. The club was founded in 1885 by Scottish dock workers. The blue in their home strip comes from these Scottish dock workers. The club's name comes from where it was founded, at the Millwall Docks on the Isle of Dogs, across the River Thames from where the club now plays.

They will play in their first FA Cup final in May 2004. As their opponents are Manchester United, who have qualified for the Champions League, Millwall are assured of playing in the 2004/05 UEFA Cup.
