History
Scottish Premiership club Dundee United announced in April 2015 that they were going to launch a women's team to compete in the Scottish Women's Football League (SWFL) from the following year.[1] Club co-owner and director Justine Mitchell was instrumental in the decision.[2] There were over fifty applicants for the position of head coach, none of whom were women.[3] Gavin Beith was appointed as the team's first head coach in June 2015, with player trials commencing later that month.[4] Ahead of the 2016 season, Fiona Mearns was chosen as the team captain.[5]
United played their first competitive match on 6 March 2016, a 5–0 win over Dunfermline Athletic Development in SWFL Division 2 East at Gussie Park in Dundee.[6] The same teams met again in June to contest the SWFL Division 2 Cup final. United lifted their first trophy with a 9–0 win, having led 7–0 at half time.[7] The league title was secured with a 6–0 win over Edinburgh Caledonia on 9 October 2016.[8] The club ended their first season having won all 16 league matches with a goal difference of +134.[9]
In October 2018, Dundee United secured the SWFL Division 1 North title with a 7–2 win over Cove Rangers. United finished top of the league by a four-point margin, winning promotion to the second tier of the national Scottish Women's Premier League (SWPL) for the 2019 season.[10]
Colours and badge

Stadium
The team initially played their home matches at Gussie Park (then known as the GA Engineering Arena due to sponsorship), situated opposite Dundee United's Tannadice Park stadium.[1] The match against Cove Rangers that clinched the SWFL Division 1 North title on 21 October 2018 was played on Tannadice itself, with an attendance of over 400.[10] Between 2020 and 2022, the team mainly played at the Regional Performance Centre at Caird Park.[11] They have also used the Dundee International Sports Centre on occasion. Following the completion of the first phase of redevelopment work on the Gussie Park facilities, it will once again be the team's regular from 2022 onwards.[12]
