History

Chula United's previous logo

Chulalongkorn University FC is the club that based at Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok, Thailand. They play in Chula–Thammasat Traditional Football Match since 1934.

In 2004, Chulalongkorn University FC was combined with Sinthana FC (Chula-Sinthana FC) and play in Division 2 in 2005 until Chula-Sinthana FC was promoted from Division 1 to Thai Premier League in 2008.

On August in 2008 season, They changed their club name again from "Chula-Sinthana FC" to "Chula United" ^[1] and Club Director is Kasiti Kamalanavin.

Chula's return to the top flight, 2008 Thailand Premier League , ended with them finishing in a creditable 8th position. However they could not build on their first season and were relegated from the 2009 Thai Premier League.

Despite having two of the three top goalscorers in the 2010 Thai Division 1 League, Chula could not bounce back at the first attempt and slumped to a disappointing 10th placed finish. Chula's striker Chainarong Tathong topped the 2010 Thai Division 1 League goalscoring chart with an impressive 19 goals. Fellow front man Aron da Silva netted 15 times to be the 3rd top scorer in the league.

In January 2011, the club changed their name to Big Bang Chulalongkorn University FC and relocated to play their home games at the Thai Army Sports Stadium on VipavadeeRangsit Road.
