Macclesfield

National League North, England

The old Macclesfield Town collapsed in 2020; the phoenix club has flown through the pyramid and in 2026 became the first sixth-tier side ever to knock the reigning FA Cup holders out, beating Crystal Palace. Continue the resurrection, reach the EFL and build a club capable of creating more impossible cup runs.
