History


Delhi United Football Club, earlier named as Gorkha Heroes, was founded in 1995 by Lal Bahadur Basnet. The club is affiliated with Football Delhi (formerly known as Delhi Soccer Association).[4] Gorkha Heroes were playing in lower division of DSA League till 2007, until B. S. Mehra took over the club management. In 2007, Gorkha Heroes became champions of B Division without losing a single match, and got promoted to A Division. Their superb form continued as they were crowned overall champions in 2008–09, keeping unbeaten record intact.

In 2009, the name was changed to Delhi United FC. In Senior Division 2009–10 season, they defeated City FC with a score of 13–0 in a match which is still the highest scoring game in Delhi's top flight. In 2010–11, the club focused its attention to I-League 2nd Division and strengthened their squad by signing some top Delhi players. Their hard work finally paid off and they became champions of the Senior Division by defeating Shahdara FC in final with a score of 3–2.

Delhi United gave the best performance in Durand Cup 2012 by qualifying for quarterfinals by defeating Indian Navy and Army Greens in qualifying rounds.

Winning the Senior Division finally confirmed their participation in I-League 2nd Division for the 2012–13 campaign. They performed well in the I-League’s second tier and were the best team from North India.

Delhi United again participated in I-League 2nd Division in 2016–17 season, and secured third spot in the final round. Ahead of the 2017–18 I-League 2nd Division season, they roped in Portuguese manager Hugo Martins.[5] Their campaign ended in the Group stages after finishing fourth with 9 points.[6]
