Shearwater FC is a professional football club playing in the first division of the Kelssek Football League. It takes its name from the Shearwater district of Breton, where it was founded as a sports club for members of the Kelssek Navy. While no longer officially linked to the armed forces, the club's badge references this heritage in its resemblance to a ship's badge. The club's stadium is now located across Breton Harbour from the Shearwater naval base adjacent to Breton's central business district in a redeveloped docklands area.
Shearwater's triumph in Champions League 11 made it the first Kelssek club to win a major international trophy. This followed its first KFL title win in thirty years coming in the first season under manager Olaf Jurtanen. The managerial change that heralded Jurtanen's arrival was widely seen as a risky move in replacing Ryan Potter, who had brought the club consistently into the top four but had failed to win the title or make progress in the Patriotes Cup in his six years at the club.
Notable players developed at Shearwater include Kelssek internationals Shaheen Taleb and Damien Halliger.
