Durham United F.C.


Durham United Football Club is a football club based in Durham, England. They are currently members of the Northern League, having won promotion to it as champions of the Wearside League in 2024/25.

History

Formed in 2012 as Durham Federation FC, the club was originally affiliated with the Durham [Academy, Ushaw Moor|Durham Federation] school. They subsequently developed several youth teams, working across the local community. In 2015, a change in the management at the school led to a split, and the club was renamed Durham United.
In 2021, they entered the Wearside League, winning promotion to the First Division in 2022. They subsequently partnered with Durham University Football Club, playing home matches at the university's sports ground. The partnership both aimed to give leading University players experience of competing in non-league football, and to move up the divisions as Durham City's relegation from the Northern League had left Durham without a team in the national league system. This was subsequently achieved with the club winning the Wearside League and earning promotion to the Northern League in 2025.

Ground
