Wikipedia - Canterbury United Dragons
Canterbury United Dragons was a semi-professional football club from Christchurch, New Zealand. The team plays most of its matches at English Park in Christchurch, though they occasionally play in Nelson. The club last played in the ISPS Handa Premiership, the now folded top level of football in New Zealand.
History
The club was founded in 2002 as a conglomerate of various Christchurch area clubs, in order to form a strong team to take part in the 2002 New Zealand National Soccer League. In 2004, the league was replaced by the New Zealand Football Championship, run on a regional franchise basis, and Canterbury United became one of the eight competing teams.
In Canterbury United's first season in the New Zealand Football Championship they missed out on the playoffs by four competition points, ultimately finishing fourth. In 2007, the club rebranded themselves as the "Canterbury United Dragons" with a new logo and mascot.
Founded in 2004, Canterbury United has quickly established itself as a strong contender in the league, consistently finishing near the top of the table. The team's colors are red and black, representing the region's Canterbury province.
Known for their fast-paced and attacking style of play, Canterbury United boasts a talented roster of players from New Zealand and around the world. The team's home matches are played at English Park, a historic stadium in Christchurch that provides an electric atmosphere for fans.
With a dedicated fan base and a commitment to developing local talent, Canterbury United continues to be a force to be reckoned with in New Zealand soccer.
