Edinburgh United Juniors Football Club is a Scottish Junior football club, formed in 1985. They presently compete in the SJFA East Region South Division 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 and usually attract a home following somewhere between 50 and 100 spectators.
Edinburgh United have been the sole "Junior" club in Edinburgh for the majority of their existence, with all other "non-league" clubs either playing in the "senior" East of Scotland Football League or the Lowland Football League. Spartans ran a Junior team for four seasons from 2009 to 2013, while Warriston based Craigroyston joined the Junior set-up from 2016.[1]
The team is managed since August 2015 by former Hearts and Raith Rovers player Calum Elliot.[2]
