The 2024 season will be United City's 3rd season in both the Philippines Football League and Copa Paulino Alcantara, and 7th overall as a club. The club would make a return to the Philippines after abstaining from the 2023 Copa Paulino Alcantara.[2]
The club were previously competing in the 2022–23 season of the PFL, but suddenly withdrew from the league having been in third place due to financial issues with the one of the club's investors, Riau Capital Live.[3][4] The club subsequently abstained from participating in the 2023 Copa Paulino Alcantara. In late 2023, however, the club announced their return to the league benchmarked by a new managerial staff, including chairman Esti Lestari and manager Maya Montecillo.[5] Joan Esteva, who left after the club's withdrawal, was replaced by Romanian manager Marian Mihail.[6] Several players who were part of the club before withdrawal such as Ivan Ouano, Ricardo Sendra, Curt Dizon, and Mark Hartmann rejoined, as well as a string of foreigners like John Kamara, Ariel Ngueukam, and PFL veteran Serge Kaole. The club also promoted two players from its Central Luzon-based academy.[7]
