CLUB HISTORY: (wiki)
Canberra United Football Club is an Australian football (soccer) club that competes in the W-League, the national women's competition. Based in Canberra, the club was formed in 2008 for the league's inaugural season. Canberra is the only team in the league that is not affiliated to a men's A-League club, although a team in the National Youth League from Canberra also competes (being the AIS). In their first season Canberra were runners-up, defeated by Queensland in the final.
The primary club colour of Canberra United is green, chosen principally since it did not clash with the other seven clubs in the inaugural competition. They are the second elite sporting team from the city to wear a green jersey after National Rugby League club, Canberra Raiders. This has led to some cross-promotion between the two 'green machine' teams.
The Canberra United badge depicts the flagpole of Parliament House, a symbol of Canberra.
The Canberra United fans are known collectively as 'Capital Punishment', and are based on the western hill of McKellar Park. Supporters groups within these numbers include "Capital Hill", "Green Leprechauns" and "The Binbag Army"
Canberra United had the highest attendance in the W-League in the inaugural season with an average crowd of 1029.
