City United FC is delighted to confirm promotion to Division Two of the Nottinghamshire Senior League following a remarkable campaign that showcased the club’s growth, resilience, and ambition.
The achievement represents a significant milestone in the club’s journey and serves as recognition of the hard work, commitment, and sacrifices made by players, coaches, volunteers, supporters, and everyone involved behind the scenes.
Promotion was never guaranteed.
Throughout the season, City United faced numerous challenges, including injuries, difficult fixtures, squad changes, and periods of adversity. However, the team consistently demonstrated character, determination, and an unwavering belief in its objectives.
The campaign was defined by exciting attacking football, memorable victories, and a collective spirit that allowed the squad to compete against some of the strongest teams in the division.
Players such as Damilola Sanusi, Fraser Holden, Boye, Gboye, Fortune Obialor, and many others played crucial roles throughout the season, contributing goals, assists, leadership, and performances that helped drive the club forward.
The defensive unit also continued to develop, while new additions brought valuable quality and depth to the squad. Debut performances from emerging players highlighted the strong culture and environment that continues to attract ambitious footballers to City United.
Beyond the results, promotion reflects something even more important.
City United has built a community.
The club has become a home for players from diverse backgrounds, including individuals from Nigeria, Ghana, Zimbabwe, Sudan, Mali, France, and across the United Kingdom. Through football, friendships have been formed, support networks have been created, and people have found a sense of belonging.
This promotion is therefore not only a football achievement. It is a community achievement.
As the club prepares for life in Division Two, attention now turns to the future. The standards will continue to rise. New challenges will emerge. Expectations will increase.
However, the ambition remains unchanged.
City United will continue to develop players, strengthen the squad, support the community, and represent its values both on and off the pitch.
Promotion is not the destination.
It is the next step.
The club would like to thank every player, supporter, sponsor, volunteer, and member of staff who contributed to this achievement.
Together, we earned this moment.
Together, we move forward.
Division Two awaits.
