Durham United Football Club is a football club based inDurham, England. They are currently members of theNorthern League, having won promotion to it as champions of theWearside League in 2024/25.[2]
Formed in 2012 as Durham Federation FC, the club was originally affiliated with theDurham 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.[1]
In 2021, they entered theWearside League, winning promotion to the First Division (later renamed Premier Division) in 2022.[3] They subsequently partnered withDurham University Football Club, playing home matches at the university's sports ground.[4] The partnership both aimed to give leading University players experience of competing in non-league football, and to move up the divisions asDurham City's relegation from the Northern League had left Durham without a team in thenational league system.[3] This was subsequently achieved with the club winning the Wearside League and earning promotion to theNorthern League in 2025.[2]
Since 2022, they have played at theGraham Sports Centre,Durham, a facility owned by Durham University.[4]
