Abercarn United Football Club is a Welsh football team based in Abercarn, Caerphilly county borough, Wales. They currently play in the Ardal SE League.
An earlier Abercarn team played in the 1921–22 FA Cup, losing to Llanhilleth in the extra preliminary round. [1]
Abercarn Town were Newport and District Football League champions in 1992–93 and 1993–94.
Abercarn Rangers won the Junior Cup in 1985–86 and the Newport and District Football League Premier X in 1987–88. From 1988 onwards they played in the Gwent County League. [2]
Abercarn United was formed in 1997 via the merger of Abercarn Town and Abercarn Rangers. [3] They initially played in the Gwent County League Second Division, [4] but by 2000 they had reached Division One, the top division of the league. They played in the top tier of the Gwent County League continuously from then until a second-place finish in 2022–23 gained them promotion to the Ardal South East. [5] In their first season in the Ardal Leagues they finished 14th out of 16 teams, but avoided relegation due to Aberbargoed Buds' withdrawal. [6]
