is a Japanese football club from Fukushima City, the capital of Fukushima Prefecture. They currently play in the J3 League, Japan's third tier of professional football.
History The club was founded in 2006, by the merger of FC Pelada Fukushima and Junkers. From the 2008 season, the club has adopted the new name as Fukushima United Football Club. They played in the Japan Football League, the third tier of the Japanese football league system in 2013. Starting in 2014, they were promoted to the newly formed, J3 League.
On 28 October 2022, Fukushima United acquired the J2 license, meaning that from the 2022 season, they can now be promoted to the J2 League if the club finishes the league season either on 1st or 2nd place.
Stadium The home stadium is in Fukushima City, Toho Stadium (, ).
The stadium's original name was Toho Minnano Stadium. Since May 2013 it has been called Toho Stadium as the naming rights were required by Toho Bank. The stadium has a full 400 metre, nine lane athletics track around the playing surface. The J. League restricts the capacity to 6,464, as they do not regard grass seats included in the stadium capacity. The pitch surface is natrural grass. The stadium was opened in 1994.
Some home games have also been played at the Aizu Athletic Park Stadium, in Aizuwakamatsu City, usually once per season, with a seating capacity of 7,300.
