Lancashire Steel F.C. is a Zimbabwean football club based in Kwekwe. They play in the top division in Zimbabwean football. Their home stadium is Baghdad Stadium.

History

The club was promoted into the Zimbabwe Premier Soccer League in 1994 and have gone on to establish themselves as a mid-table club that has been in the league continuously since 1994. The likes of former Zimbabwe international's Paul Gundani, Luke Petros and Petros Sibanda all wear the maroon and white colours of the "Chimbi Chimbi Boys" with pride, passion and total commitment.

The most memorable time at the club was in 1999 when, under the guidance of Ashton "Papa" Nyazika, they beat Caps United in the first Z$1m Madison trophy at the National Sports Stadium to collect their only piece of silverware to date, a parade of the trophy in Kwekwe the week after the victory saw over 100,000 Kwekweans take to the streets as a sign of appreciation to what the boys had done.
