Our two guiding principles when we started our project were anti-discrimination and financial inclusion. By keeping our costs to an absolute minimum and not charging players for games or training where we can we manage to bring together individuals from communities who would otherwise probably never have met through a shared love of football.

​

In 2011, the men’s team moved from semi-regular football to a structured 11-a-side team which joined the Scottish Unity Football League. The Club has raised lots of interest in Glasgow and beyond since 2011 and results have improved on and off the park since.

​

During 2012 the The Club also received funding from Sported, the leading UK sport for development charity, and in 2013,  received funding from the Big Lottery Fund's Young Start Fund and Awards For All funds to create community projects in Glasgow. ‘Kick Off Together’ with United Glasgow Football Club brought together 60 participants from a variety of disadvantaged groups to offer them opportunities they may otherwise have been denied through sports sessions, first aid  and coaching qualifications and a college access qualification. We also developed the United Glasgow Communities Cup and a "play for a pound" 7-a-side league which aimed to remove the barriers to semi-competitive football for individuals who were not active.

​

The largest growth in 2014 was the rapid progression of our women's football who moved from a group in the Kick Off Together programme and an informal drop-in session to joining the Scottish Women's Football League in March 2015. Additionally, a second men's team was added to the Club in September 2014.

​

The Men's Teams left the Scottish Unity Football League in the summer of 2015 with our first team moving to playing on Saturdays in the West of Scotland Amateur Football League and our second team joining the newly founded Glasgow Community & Co-operative League, along with the new men's development team.

​

While the Men's Saturday Team (and the West of Scotland Amateur Football League) folded, the club added additional drop-in sessions in 2017 to complement the existing provision, opening football opportunities to more people than ever.

In 2021, United Glasgow Men’s Team was invited to join the Glasgow & District Sunday Football Championship. This is an exciting opportunity to join a strong amateur league and open more doors for United Glasgow and the players. 

​

While we have already worked with hundreds of young people in Glasgow, we hope the project will continue to grow - incorporating more community education and inclusion projects in partnership with other organisations - and result in a true community football club which represents all of Glasgow; regardless of background or financial position.
