Wolfpine United is a Florian professional football team formed in 2018 located in the greater Northcliff metropolitan area of Wolfpine. They started competing in Super League Football from the 2021–22 season.
History
The club was formed as a planned merger between two Greater Northcliff clubs, Wolfpine Impact and Eastcliff Dynamo both of which were struggling in the lower half of Super League Football. Both had large fanbases in the outskirts of Northcliff but realistically both could never challenge Northcliff United and Northcliff City the two main teams in the city. With the futures of both clubs, not certain due to poor finances both decided to join forces should both clubs be relegated at the end of the 2018-19 season, something which would eventually come to fruition with Eastcliff finishing bottom and Impact finishing in 17th.
With both clubs formally announcing the merger, both clubs announced that they would proceed with their last seasons as an independent club for 2019-20. This would eventually be disastrous as both clubs finished in the relegation zone and both clubs would have been relegated to Florian League One. The merger came into effect for the 2020-21 season and the new club would apply for Super League Football for 2021. This was accepted and they started league play against natural and traditional rivals Northcliff United in their inaugural game. They would lose 3-1 but the match would be a sellout and prove that two former rival clubs could merge together to achieve a goal and be successful.

Stadium
Wolfpine United's home ground is Northcliff Road which has a capacity of 36,000. Its stadium design was inspired by the Jämtfall Stadión, the home ground of Sverige Tiem FC and has a similar main stand.
Supporters
Wolfpine is notable for its loyal and passionate fanbase despite having poor results under the Impact and Dynamo names. Wolves fans regularly sing "Marching on Together", composed after the merger of the clubs as a sign of unity going forward into the future.
Wolfpine is located near the railway tracks in Northcliff which connects the city to the rest of the country and therefore the club's hooligan firm is called the "Wolfpine Railway Crew". They are notorious in Floria for violence on away days and have led to the banning of Wolfpine fans at some SLF away games.
