History

Gombak United made their S-League debut in 1998 after securing a 10-year deal worth S$5 million with Shakey’s Pizza. Prior to joining the S.League, the club was known as Redhill Rangers FC.

From 1998 to 2002, the club played their S.League home games at the Bukit Gombak Stadium before pulling out of the S.League at the end of the 2002 season due to financial difficulties. Gombak United returns to the S.League in 2006 and moved their home games to Jurong West Stadium.

In December 2015, the club officially wrote to the FAS for permission to return to the S.League in 2017. In 2016, Gombak United was one of the three ex-S.League clubs being told to cease profit-generating operations and vacate stadium clubhouses.

The clubhouse was moved from Gombak Stadium to Kitchener Road.
