Seragaan United Football Club or commonly known as Seragaan United is a professional football club based in Seragaan, Daau. The club competes in the Daau Super League and plays its games in the Seragaan State Stadium.
History
Seragaan United was founded on April 1st, 1979 under the leadership of Yasser Al-Shabab. The club was first a member of the Dauian Amateur League before they obtained the license for a higher division. The club originally competed in the Dauian Lower League where they historically signed Power Forward and current head of youth Isaac Zainol. The club remained in the Dauian Lower League where they were champions for 2 seasons in a row before being invited to be promoted to the Daau Top League to fully professionalize ahead of the 2006-07 season. The club remained in the mid-table spot in the DTL for years to come and remained competitive in the Daau Super League.
The Blades were sadly relegated following 5 seasons in the top tier of Dauian football due to the lack of quality players and funding and was dropped down to the D-League where they again were relegated into another tier below. The club's deteriorating reputation in Dauian football drove investors away and led to the club officially self-relegating to the Lower League in the 2014-15 season of the D-League due to bankruptcy and other internal issues with the DAFA. Prior to liquidation the club would be purchased by Abdul Yahzen Buhari ahead of the 2015-16 season and promised to bring the club back to the very top.
The club achieved back-to-back promotions in a few seasons time as they went from bottom of the D-League to the top of the D-League and were promoted back to the top flight ahead of the 2022-23 season alongside new funding from the owners in order to solidify their place in the league. The Blades signed foreigners from Oportia and Craitland such as Caspar Laintens, Radu Preda, and Jaroslaw B. in pre-season to make sure they're in for a fair fight. The club would finish in a desired 6th place, well above the relegation zone, and declared it a successful season.
Ahead of the 2023-24 season, the club would hire Isaac Zainol as their new manager following the departure of Raphael Mendes.
Club Tradition
As the club was founded with a goal to push Matabese footballers in Daau closer to the professional level of Dauian football, the club currently only signs Matabese-Dauian players rather than opting for foreign talents. It has won a total of 3 titles while being in the league.
