[edit] History
Portmore United, originally Hazard United, has been around for more than 20 years. The club stared out in the Clarendon League in Division 2, then played 2 years in Division 1 when they qualified for Craven A Premier League. They have been in Premier League ever since.
In 2003 the name was changed primarily for financial reasons. JFF now stipulates that each club must have stands that can seat at least 1,500 persons. Clarendon does not have one. So to facilitate this requirement, the team moved to St. Catherine and now uses the Ferdi Neita Sports Complex. Both Clarendon and St. Catherine Football association agreed to the sharing of the complex initially. In 2002, the St. Catherine association suggested Hazard change their affiliation and become a St. Catherine team. In St. Catherine however the home crowd has not grown, because the team name was still associated with Clarendon… so to get a parish identity they have changed their name to Portmore United.
The club also has an Under 21 team, some of whom have represented the country
