Nordic United FC is a Swedish professional football club located in Södertälje. They currently play in Superettan, the second tier of Swedish football, after promotion from Ettan in 2025.

History

Nordic United was founded in 2004 as Assyriska FF Babylon.[1] Changes in identity have been the norm in recent years with the club being known as Södertälje FC, Assyriska United IK, Södertälje FK / Assyriska United IK, United IK and United IK Nordic.[1][2] In 2013, the club took over the team Assyriska Botkyrka (the youth team of Assyriska FF) and played for many years after that in Botkyrka.[3] In 2022, the club changed its name to Nordic United FC.[4]

After finishing 2nd in the 2023 Ettan Norra, Nordic United contested the playoff for promotion to 2024 Superettan, but lost to Örgryte.[5]

In the 2025 season, Nordic United secured promotion to Superettan for the first time in their history from next season after finishing 1st in Ettan Norra and becoming champions in the third tier.
