History
Burapha United Football Club was established in 2022 as Banbueng City Football Club with close ties to Chonburi F.C.. Initially, the club served as a platform for Chonburi F.C.'s youth players and local talents, aiming to bridge the gap between amateur and professional football. In its inaugural season, the club competed in the 2023 Thailand Semi-pro League in the Eastern region. The team played six matches, recording no wins, two draws, and four losses, finishing with just two points and placing seventh in the group. In the 2024 season, Banbueng City continued to compete in the Thailand Semi-pro League. The team showed significant improvement, playing seven matches with five wins, one draw, and one loss. They finished second in the Eastern region with 16 points, but narrowly missed promotion to Thai League 3, as only the regional champions advanced.
In the 2025 season, the club excelled in the Thailand Semi-pro League, playing six matches with five wins and one draw, remaining unbeaten throughout the campaign. They topped the Eastern region with 16 points, earning promotion to the Thai League 3 for the 2025–26 season. To strengthen the squad, the club signed Thailand national team defender Chalermsak Aukkee and rebranded as Burapha United Football Club in anticipation of their debut in the professional league.
