United FC making moves both on and off the pitch
Dubai: After making history this weekend by becoming the first privately owned team to ever win a UAE Pro League game, United FC have launched the sale of their new home kit.
The club have stepped away from their traditional white and black home colours, opting instead for a trendy black and orange theme.
After wearing the colours in their opening Pro League fixture, fans can now purchase the kit themselves via the fan shop at every home game the club has.
After a tricky start to life in the UAE’s top division, United FC finally got their campaign up and running with a historic first-ever victory, beating Baniyas 3-2 away from home. Managed by Italian football legend Andrea Pirlo, the newly promoted side showed plenty of character to claim all three points in a closely fought encounter.
Willy Semedo was the star of the show, scoring twice for United FC, with Moustapha Name also finding the net. The result gives Pirlo’s side a huge confidence boost as they adapt to the demands of top-flight football and look to establish themselves among the UAE’s elite.
United FC will now turn their attention to their long-awaited first home game of the season, with Kalba set to provide the opposition. With their first win under their belt, Pirlo and his players will be hoping to build on that momentum in front of their home supporters.
