The ninety-seven-year old football team is located in the town of Kalyani in the Nadia district of West Bengal, an hour's drive from the busy metropolis of Kolkata. The many tales of United Sports Club, a nearly century-old Indian football club, are not just about their skill on the field but also about their ability to raise the voice in favour of several unsung young Turks and has brought them into the mainstream of Bengali society and soccer as well. As one of the most precious diamonds of United SC since the last three decades, Nabab Bhattacharya has showcased the rising anecdotes of his club in the lower tiers of Calcutta Football League in the preceding decades. The densely grained roots of this club can be traced during the time of Pre-Independence India. It mostly participated in several CFL. Nabab Bhattacharya has ruminated that "There was a referee named Rashbehari Mukherjee; it was his club in those days." He was enjoying his evening tea. Like the hundred football teams scattered throughout the greater Kolkata area, United SC was primarily in a semi-professional state for its first sixty-seven years. The club competed in different city and regional leagues and tournaments in addition to moving within the CFL divisions. However, the club takes pride in having survived the war, starvation, and partitioning of the 20th century, which caused many clubs to furl their tents for apparent reasons.
The crucial transformation of Club’s administrative machinery
The old framed United SC’s administration was turned out to be in a new get up as the operational responsibilities of the club had been bestowed on a group of young individual football lovers, Nabab Bhattacharya was one of them. However, they were lying in wait in the CFL's fifth division at that point of time. Over the course of the following ten years, they underwent a voyage of clever and effective management that led them to the I-League, the then highest tier of sub continental’s football.
The Dark Phase and the cancellation of Club’s license
In 2013–14 footballing season United SC were kicked out of the I-League under the guise of club license concerns. We didn't have any financial partners at the time. Simultaneously, the ISL was about to start, but no players were signing to play in it. The venerated Praful Patel and Kushal Das led the All India Football Federation in deciding that two teams will be demoted. Approximately 70 to 80 of the 120 players who were impacted by the four clubs went on to sign with ISL teams. There was more of a plot involved. Due to their own financial sparseness, Prayag had suddenly departed from their stands of future investment matters.
