Sporting Bengal United Football Club is an English football team from Mile End, in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. They currently play in the Kent League.

History

The club was formed in 1996 to encourage Asian football in London. They initially played in the London Intermediate League until they gained senior status in 2003, whereupon they joined the Kent League. In 2005, they were one of the first Asian teams to play in the FA Cup, along with London APSA F.C. of the Essex Senior League, whose roots are in the neighbouring borough of Newham.

The Sporting Bengal set-up is unusual in that it is operated by the Bangladesh Football Association (UK) and players are selected from (and retain their affiliation with) the Sunday league clubs which are affiliated to that organisation. They are also unusual in being the only Kent League club to play their home matches north of the River Thames, outside the traditional borders of Kent.
