C.P.D. Sychdyn United is a Welsh football club based in Sychdyn, Flintshire. They currently play in the North East Wales Division Two.

History

In 1985–86 Sychdyn won the NWCFA Junior Cup.[2] They played Anglesey side Llanerchymedd in the final, and after the first game finished 2–2 after extra time, they won a replay 3–0 to win the cup. In the same season they won the Clwyd League Division One and were runners-up in the Clwyd Cup.[3]

In 2016 Sychdyn finished runners-up in the North East Wales League but were denied promotion in favour of eighth-place Maesgwyn.[4][5] The following season they won the North East Wales League title, as well as lifting the Premier Cup, their first trophies since the mid-1980s. However they were again denied promotion and folded as a result.[6][7] They reformed and rejoined the league in 2019.[8]

In 2020 the North East Wales Football League was formed and they were placed in the Championship Division, at the fifth tier of Welsh football.[9]

During the 2023–24 season the club was renamed to Sychdyn United.

In 2025 Sychdyn beat third-tier Lex XI in the Welsh Cup second qualifying round.[10] In the first round they were drawn away at Cymru North side Penrhyncoch[11] and lost 2–0.[12]
