About the team
The team
Enschede United is a team with ambition. They play in division VII.946 in the Netherlands. Enschede United plays at the Olympic Stadium of Enschede (25.000). The club strives for a selection with a regional character. Most players are from the Youthsquad, or from an other Dutch team. Only when it's really necessary, United buys foreign players.
Current season
Season 22 For the first time, United made it to the second round of the cup, by beating Kingma United with 1-2. FC hartlepool ended the expedition one week later with a 2-0 defeat. United is doing very bad in the league. They only got one point out of three matches and therefor share the last place. The Olympic Stadium has been expanded to 30.000 spectators. United also started a youth academy this season.
seizoen 22 Voor het eerst in de geschiedenis behaalde United de 2e ronde van de beker, door Kingma United met 1-2 te verslaan. FC hartlepool bleek een ronde later met 2-0 te sterk. In de competitie staat United er slecht voor. Met een punt uit drie duels staan de Tukker gedeeld laatste. Intussen is het Olympisch Stadion uitgebreid van 25.000 naar 30.000 plaatsen. Ook heeft de club dit seizoen een jeugdopleiding opgericht.
History
Season 15
Enschede United was establisht on june the 9th 2005 and started in division XI.212 in Nederland. Before this date, two matches in this competition where already played (and both where lost), but thanks to the Romanian coach Niculae Modoran, United won 11 of the remaining 12 matches. So Enschede won the championship at their debut.
Season 16
This season started with a defeat, against the also promoted De Stofkappen. Niculae Modoran though kept his nerves and that of the team, so of the following 13 matches, 12 where won and 1 ended in a draw. With a victory against De Stofkappen, the championship was reached on the last day.
Season 17
This season was the best season ever! The 2-2 draw against FC Gnurft was the only loss of points in this competition. The power of Enschede was emphasized by the fact that there where only 6 goals scored against this team. The Olympic Stadium of Enschede was the new ground of the club, because the old Enschede Arena turned out to be to small.
Season 18
For this season a new coach has been appointed. The Romanian coach Niculae Modoran has been replaced by his Swiss colleague Morgan Petrie. For the first time in their history United played for the KNVB Beker (the Dutch Cup). United lost with 2-3 against Goodfellaz (a team in division V). This league was a very strong one. In the first match the later (and right) champion FC M'non was defeated. After that a lot of points where thrown away. United ended up in the third place, behind angstgegner FC Riko. Reasons for this poor season are the defensive 5-4-1 system, good tactics of the opponents and just bad luck.
Season 19
In the KNVB Beker United was defeated by Holthe with 0-1. Big teams in the league like GP_Manager and FC Riko (2x) where beaten, but United lost against the relatively small radiokaka and outsider Jimmy-Boys. United ended as runner-up behind GP_Manager.
Season 20
This season the championship of division VIII.242 was finaly won. The season started bad, when United lost in the first round of the cup by FC Smurfendorp with 1-3. Also the match against Jimmy-Boys was lost, but after that, United only drawed against FC Riko and the rest was won. This season stadium was extended from 17,000 to 21,000 places.
Season 21
United lost in the first round of the cup with shoot outs (3-2) against wezienweleven. In the league United faced tough opposition. After seven matches, United held the third place, 6 points behind number one Cor_Los United. But an unexpected serie of victories brought Enschede their fifth trophy in the end. This extraordinary result was reached with a 5-4-1 system!
