Founding[edit]
The club was founded in September 2022. It began its journey in UAE Second Division.
Season 2022/2023[edit]
United FC did everything to promote to UAE First Division League. The club immediately invited some new players and Spanish coaches, who created new tactics. So the management set high goals and the team started showing great performance.
United FC became one of the favourites to promote. However, the end of the season was quite dramatic. Three clubs: Gulf United FC, Fleetwood United F.C. and United FC had chances to play in UAE First Division League in the following season. The last two games were really important for United FC, where the club beat Fleetwood United F.C. and Al-Hilal United FC.
United FC finished the season on the 2nd place with the best offensive and defensive rating in the league.
International Summer Camp[edit]
After the promotion United FC had several friendly games against local clubs from UAE Pro League. The team showed its best against 2022-2023 champions Shabab Al Ahli Club, the club with the most championships Al Ain FC and 2023 cup champions Sharjah FC. United FC also played a friendly game against Turkmenistan national football team.[3]
In June 2023 the club went to Moldova and spent the summer camp at the football base of FC Sheriff Tiraspol.
