Oldbury United Football Club is a football club representing Oldbury, West Midlands, England. They are currently members of the West Midlands (Regional) League Division Two.

History

Oldbury United FC was formed in 1958 and joined the Worcestershire Combination (later Midland Football Combination) in 1966. They were league runners-up twice in the late 1970s and in 1982, despite only finishing fifth in the league, stepped up to the Southern League Midland Division.

In 1985–86 United finished bottom of the league and switched to the West Midlands (Regional) League where they enjoyed a number of successful seasons, including winning the championship in 1993. Based on this, in 1994 they became founder members of the Midland Alliance, where they have played ever since, with a best finish of third place.

Due to an ongoing legal dispute, Oldbury United began the 2008–09 season sharing The Beeches, home ground of Tividale. The legal dispute ended in the club folding at the end of the season.^[1] In 2017 the club was reformed, joining Division Two of the West Midlands (Regional) League.
