FC Struga Trim & Lum (Macedonian: ФК Струга Трим & Лум, Latin: KF Struga Trim & Lum) is a professional football club based in Struga, North Macedonia. They are currently competing in the Macedonian First League.

History

FC Struga Trim & Lum was founded in August 2015 by the renowned company "Trim & Lum," a leader in the construction and real estate sectors. The club emerged as a serious and ambitious project, committed to building a football team that would adhere to the highest standards, even though they began their journey in the Fourth League, also known as the Municipal League. From the outset, FC Struga Trim & Lum invested in modern training methods and professional infrastructure, signaling their intent to rise through the ranks of Macedonian football.

Their efforts bore fruit in the 2016–17 season when the club finished first in the Third League, securing direct promotion to the Macedonian Second League. In the same season, FC Struga Trim & Lum also clinched the OFS Struga Cup, marking the beginning of their competitive success.

On 28 November 2017, continuing their winning streak, FC Struga Trim & Lum triumphed in the Independence Cup held in Korçë. The club defeated Tirana 1–0 in the semi-finals, thanks to a header from Migjen Sherifi, and went on to win the final against Otrant-Olympic from Ulcinj after a penalty shoot-out (4–1).

Their breakthrough into the top tier of Macedonian football was cemented in the 2022–23 season when FC Struga Trim & Lum won the Macedonian First Football League title for the first time. On 7 May 2023, FC Struga Trim & Lum secured the championship following a decisive 3–0 victory over FK Sileks. Demonstrating their dominance, FC Struga Trim & Lum successfully defended their title in the 2023–24 season, becoming back-to-back Macedonian First Football League champions, further establishing themselves as a rising force in the league.
