Hamilton United is a Canadian semi-professional soccer club based in Hamilton, Ontario that plays in League1 Ontario.

History[]

The club was founded in 2013 by local clubs Saltfleet-Stoney Creek SC, Mount Hamilton Youth SC, and Ancaster SC to foster youth development.[1]

The club's first team entered the women's division of League1 Ontario in 2018.[2][3] They played their inaugural match against West Ottawa SC on April 28.[4]

In 2020, they decided to add a team in the men's division,[5] although their debut has been delayed indefinitely due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[6] As preparation for the top division, they fielded a team in the L1O men's Reserve division in 2019.[7]
