United are set to represent The Gambia in the 2017 CAF Confederations Cup after
claiming the 2016 Gambia Football Federation GFF Cup title following their 1-0
win over Bombada in a well-contested final game plated at the Independence
Stadium in Bakau, on 5 June 2016, courtesy of striker Sainey Bojang’s powerful
second-half strike.

United made their debut in the CAF Champions league in 2012, after clinching
the 2010-2011 domestic division league title under the guidance of Coach Eassa
