History

Originally known as Whickham Sports FC, the club became Dunston Mechanics FC in 1982. Following a sponsorship arrangement, the club changed name again to Dunston Federation Brewery FC in 1986. At the end of the sponsorship, the club dropped the 'Brewery' from their name in 2006.

From their formation in 1975 to 1980 they were members of the Northern Amateur League, before moving to the Northern Combination League, and then in 1987 the Wearside League, where they won the title twice. In 1991 The Fed joined the Northern League, and are still members of thac competition. They reached the Quarter-Finals of the FA Vase in the 1992–93 season when they also became Division Two Champions of the Northern League.

In 2003–04 The Fed went thirty-nine league games unbeaten only to lose the very last game of the season.

In June 2009, UTS Ltd became the club's main sponsor. The club was then renamed Dunston UTS Football Club and their ground name was changed to UTS Stadium.^[1]
