The Eastern University of Management and Technology Football Club (Thai: สโมสรฟุตบอลมหาวิทยาลัยการจัดการและเทคโนโลยีอีสเทิร์น), commonly known as EUMT F.C. or Ubon Eastern F.C., is a professional football club based in Ubon Ratchathani, Thailand. The club currently competes in the Thai League 3, the third tier of the Thai football league system, and plays in the Northeastern region.
The club represents the Eastern University of Management and Technology (EUMT). It was originally founded as Ubon UMT United Football Club, and later renamed Ubon United in 2018. The team was inactive during the 2019 season before being revived in 2025 under its current name, The Eastern University of Management and Technology F.C. (EUMT F.C.).
History
[edit]In 2015, Assistant Professor Dr. Wirasak Jinarat, Chancellor of the Eastern University of Management and Technology (UMT), filed a request with the Football Association of Thailand to establish a new football club by separating from Ubon UMT F.C. The new club began competing in the Regional League Division 2 Northeast Zone in the 2015 season.[1]
In 2016, the club won the Thai Division 1 League and earned promotion to the Thai League 1 for the first time in its history. A new stadium, the UMT Stadium, was constructed on the university campus and officially opened for the 2017 season.
At the end of 2018, the club changed its name and logo to Ubon United. However, it was dissolved at the end of the 2019 season after failing to pass the club licensing requirements due to wage-related issues.[2][3][4][5][6]
In 2025, the team was revived under its new name, The Eastern University of Management and Technology F.C. (EUMT F.C.), and re-entered competition in the 2025 Thailand Semi-pro League, the fourth tier of Thai football.[7][8][9] The club finished second in the Northeastern region. Although the position did not normally grant promotion, EUMT F.C. was promoted to the 2025–26 Thai League 3 Northeastern Region to fill the vacancy created by Rasisalai United's promotion to the 2025–26 Thai League 2.[10]
