Mount Pleasant Football Academy is a Jamaican professional football club based in the parish of Saint Ann. The club currently plays in the Jamaica Premier League.

History

[edit]

Formed in 2016 by Peter Gould, Mount Pleasant F.A, formerly known as “Stush in the Bush”, is nestled in the hills of St Ann, less than five minutes from the Runaway Bay main road, and has brought back football hype to the parish for the first time since Benfica F.C. participated in the 2010–11 season.[1]

The club gained promotion for the first time to the Jamaica Premier League via the playoffs on July 1, 2018, by finishing second in the four team table.[2] On June 11, 2023, the club won its first ever league title in history, defeating Cavalier F.C. 2–1 at Sabina Park.
