Tokyo United FC (東京ユナイテッドFC, Tōkyō Yunaiteddo Efushi) is a football (soccer) club based in Bunkyō, which is located in Tokyo in Japan. They play in the Kantō Soccer League, which is part of Japanese Regional Leagues. It is the reserve team of Tokyo Musashino United, who plays at the Japan Football League.

History[edit]

In January 2015, Keio University Soccer Team - playing in Tokyo Metropolitan Football League - decided to merge with Tokyo University Association Football Club, the football team of University of Tokyo. The will of this new reality is to reach J. League by 2020.[1]

After getting the club to Division 1 of Kantō Soccer League, the club changed their name to Tokyo United Football Club in 2016.[2] They also featured a female team, Bunkyo LB Ladies.[3]

On 2021, they merged with Tokyo Musashino City to form current Japan Football League club Tokyo Musashino United. The existing Tokyo United team became Musashino's reserve team.
