Motor Action Football Club (Zimbabwe)
It was founded in 2000 when businessman Eric Rosen acquired the franchise of the then-defunct Blackpool FC and rebranded it as Motor Action. The club played its home matches at the Callies Sports Club (later known as Motor Action Sports Club).
Motor Action achieved notable success in a relatively short period. Its peak came in 2010, when it won the Zimbabwe Premier Soccer League title. The club also claimed the 2011 BancABC Super 8 Cup and the 2005 Silver Jubilee Independence Trophy. It featured talented players such as Masimba Mambare, Walter Musona, Clemence Matawu, and others during its competitive years.
After relegation from the Premier Soccer League in 2013, the club faced severe financial difficulties. In 2014, owner Eric Rosen put the club up for sale. Unable to secure a viable buyer or continued funding, Motor Action was disbanded. The sports club facilities were later converted into an entertainment and events venue.
