Ambonar United is an association football club from Slokais Islands. They compete in the [[Slokaisian Premier League|SPL]] having won the competition in 2025 and 2026. Based in Xulin, the club has support throughout the province of Ambonar and plays at Dah Grah Stadium. Founded in 1974 by the merger of several smaller regional clubs, the club was bought in 2019 by the Crown Investment Program (CIP). Since the club was bought Ambonar United has won two SPL titles and an Association Cup.
==History==
Ambonar United Football Club was founded in 1974 via the merger of Dutari FC and Miroclina Athletic, two teams in the Liga Ambonari. The two sides had been struggling financially and thus combined into a single club. In 1976, Ambonar United moved to Xulin to attract more supporters from the larger market. In 1981, Ambonar United won the Liga Ambonari and earned promotion to the 2nd Division for the first time. In 1991, Crown Prince Sri Hanni Semerajong invested in the club and supported player development and improved facilities. This initial boost helped the club to a promotion to Division 1 and a move to the Dah Grah Stadium, joining Xulin FC. Although denied from the  8-team SPL in 2001, Ambonar United would win the initial promotion playoff against regional rivals Weston Road Wolves, who finished 8th in the initial SPL season.
Ambonar United would spend the 2000s and 2010s between Liga 1 and the SPL with a Liga 1 title in 2015, starting a period of rapid growth. During this time, Ambonar United would develop a unique rule of only scouting players from Ambonar or of Ambonari ancestry and featuring a majority of Ambonari players in the squad. The practice would be met with some controversy as a form of ethnic and religious discrimination, although the club continues to practice the scouting rules for it's well regarded academy program. Jesu Dah Minjarong would be the best player of this period, recording over 400 games played for the club as a consistently solid midfielder. In 2019, the Crown Investment Program would purchase Ambonar United and merge with Xulin FC, a local rival. This would displace the club's fanbase leading a large number to start a new club in the semi-pro Ambonar Regional League North known as Xulin 1935. Regardless, Ambonar United would rapidly grow in terms of wages and budgets with national team wonderkids such as Jerome Jinyarayian and David Jimyrajong leading the way along with several transfers. Ambonar United would win their first SPL title in the 2024-2025 Season followed by an Association Cup victory over New Liverpool FC. The following season, David Jimyrajong would record 15 goals as he led the team to a back-to-back league title in 2026 as Ambonar United with several supporting pieces being bought from other clubs.
==Rivals==
Ambonar United held a long-standing rivalry with Xulin FC who shared the Dah Grah Stadium for several decades. This would lead to several violent incidents during the 2000s and 2010s as both clubs consistently featured in both the SPL and Liga 1. Xulin FC would remain more popular in the city itself with Ambonar United being more popular in rural areas. Eventually in 2019, upon the Crown Investment Program (CIP) purchasing both clubs, well-known Ambonar United supporters, the Royal Family would force the clubs to merge. After a successful appeal to the Slokaisian FA by supporters of Xulin records and history as well as much of the squad were transferred to Xulin 1935 FC. 1935 FC would, however, be forced to start in the 5th tier.
Ambonar United also has a regional rivalry with [[Weston Road Wolves]] due to both sides featuring in the SPL throughout the 2010s and 2020s. This rivalry has only grown over the historical context of the Ambonar Kingdom, which once controlled modern-day Wojiang Bay before the region gained freedom during the 1830s. In addition, Weston Road supporters have claimed a "working class vs elite" distinction while Ambonar United supporters claim that they play a more tactical form of football compared to the more aggressive and tackle-heavy play of Weston Road.
