Histoire
Musselburgh Athletic Football Club are a Scottish football club based in the town of Musselburgh, East Lothian. Officially formed in 1934, they have played under different names prior to this year including Musselburgh Comrades, Musselburgh Bruntonians, Musselburgh Juniors and Musselburgh Fern since 1898.
Nicknamed "the Burgh" or "Mussy", they play their home games at the Olivebank Arena in the Fisherrow area of the town. Olivebank was opened as a football ground on 2 August 1910 when a crowd of 2,000 supporters saw Scottish Junior Cup holders, Ashfield, record a 2-1 win over the Burgh that afternoon.
Musselburgh Athletic's home colours are blue and white which are traditionally the town's colours, with the anchor representing its history for fishing.

The majority of the club's history has been played in the Scottish Junior football leagues. In seasons 2010–11 and 2014–15 they reached the final of the Scottish Junior Cup, on both occasions losing 2–1 to Ayrshire team Auchinleck Talbot.
The team currently plays in the Lowland League East, having moved from the SJFA East Region Premier League in 2018 following the formation of a Scottish Football Pyramid.
In 2019, Musselburgh won the South & East of Scotland Cup-Winners Shield which allowed them to take part in the Scottish Cup for the first time in 2020–21. They also obtained their SFA License at this time due to several improvements made to the clubs facilities to comply with SFA licensing criteria, this included the installation of floodlights.
On 30 October 2023, a Scottish Cup tie against three-time winners Clyde took place 'under the lights' at the Olivebank Arena. The game was broadcast live on television by BBC Scotland - the first and only time this has happened at the Arena. Clyde won the game 3–2 after extra time.
