History

2009–2011 Buriram or early years

The club was founded in 2009 as Buriram Football Club by Mrs.Karuna Chidchob (the club president).

2012 moved to Songkhla

On 9 January 2012 it was announced that Thai Premier League side PEA. F.C. owner Newin Chidchob would buy out promoted Thai Division 1 League side Buriram F.C. . After Chidchob bought the club he sold the rights to Songkhla F.C.. Chidchob's reason for selling the rights to Songkhla F.C. was to help provincial football stating that Southern Thailand was the only area in Thailand that had never had a Thai Premier League side. After Songkhla F.C. got the rights to the team they requested from the Football Association of Thailand to move the club from Buriram Province to Songkhla Province. They hoped to change the name of Buriram F.C. to Wuachon United and to have two Songkhla teams, one competing in the Thai Division 1 League and the other Songkhla F.C. competing in the Thai Premier League.

On 20 May 2012, for the match Wuachon 1–4 Muangthong United, the highest attendance at Tinsulanon Stadium of 30,102 was recorded.

2013 united with the local team

In 2013, Wauchon United has decided to unit with the local team, Songkhla F.C., as Songkhla United.

In 2018, after Club-licensing didn't pass to play 2018 Thai League 3 Lower Region, the team is banned 2 years and Relegated to 2020 Thai League 4 Southern Region.[1]
