BBCU Football Club, full name Big Bang Chula United Football Club, (Thai: สโมสรฟุตบอล บีบีซียู) is a Thai professional football club based in Bangkok, Thailand, owned by Montri Suwannoi. Founded as "Bangtoey Football Team" in 1976, the club changed its name many times, until finally, it became "BBCU" in 2011.
BBCU was one of the most successful Thai football clubs of the late 1990s (under the name of “Sinthana Football Club”). The club has won a Thai League T1 title, 2 Kor Royal Cups and 1 FA Cup. Moreover, during the years in lower divisions, the club has also won a Division 2 title.
Chulalongkorn University FC is the club based at Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok, Thailand. They have played in the Chula–Thammasat Traditional Football Match since 1934.
In 2004, Chulalongkorn University FC was combined with Sinthana FC (Chula-Sinthana FC) and played in Division 2 in 2005 until Chula-Sinthana FC was promoted from Division 1 to Thai Premier League in 2008.
In August of the 2008 season, they changed their club name again from "Chula-Sinthana FC" to "Chula United". The Club Director was Kasiti Kamalanavin.
Chula's return to the top flight, 2008 Thailand Premier League, ended with them finishing in a creditable 8th position. However they could not build on their first season and were relegated from the 2009 Thai Premier League.
