Edinburgh United F.C. is a Scottish Junior football club from Edinburgh. Formed in 1985, the club quickly entered the junior grade of football. They presently compete in the East Region and play their home games at Paties Road Recreation Ground in the Colinton area of the city. This ground holds around 2,500 spectators, 200 of whom can be seated in the fairly well developed stand at the site.
Edinburgh United play in black and white strips (uniforms) and usually attract a home following somewhere between 50 and 100 spectators.
They were formerly known as "Edinburgh United Junior Football Club", but after merging with Pentland Panthers F.C., they re-named themselves. The current U19 Youth Squad won the Scottish Cup for the 2009/2010 season after beating many of the favourites on the way including Leith Athletic who they beat at Paties Road. This was the first Edinburgh United team to have ever reached the final of "The Scottish" never mind win it!
They were the sole "Junior" club in Edinburgh, with all other "non-league" clubs either playing in the "senior" East of Scotland Football League or the local amateur leagues before Spartans began fielding a Junior side in 2009.
