Eastbourne United Association Football Club, commonly known as Eastbourne United, is a semi-professional football club based in Eastbourne, East Sussex, England. Founded in 2003, the club is a result of a merger between two of the town's oldest clubs, Eastbourne United and Shinewater Association.
The club's history can be traced back to 1894 when Eastbourne United was established. The club enjoyed a successful run in local and regional leagues, including the Sussex County Football League. Shinewater Association, on the other hand, was formed in 1948 and was a prominent team in the Eastbourne and District Football League. The merger in 2003 was aimed at creating a stronger club capable of competing at higher levels in the English football league system.
Eastbourne United currently competes in the Southern Combination Football League Premier Division, a level nine league in the English football league system. The club's home games are played at The Oval, a ground they share with fellow Eastbourne club, Eastbourne Town. The ground has a capacity of 3,000, with 150 seated places.
The club's colors are red and black, and their emblem features a seagull, a nod to the town's coastal location. Over the years, Eastbourne United has developed a reputation for nurturing local talent, with several players progressing to professional clubs.
Despite being a relatively young club, Eastbourne United has enjoyed some success. They won the Sussex County Football League in the 2008-2009 season and have had several successful runs in the FA Vase, a competition for teams playing below Step 4 of the English National League System.
Off the pitch, Eastbourne United is a community-focused club. They run several youth teams and are involved in various community initiatives. The club is run by a committee of volunteers and relies heavily on the support of local businesses and fans.
In recent years, Eastbourne United has faced challenges, including financial difficulties and relegation battles. However, the club remains committed to its vision of providing competitive football and nurturing local talent in Eastbourne. The club's resilience and community spirit continue to be its driving force as it looks forward to a brighter future in English football.
