K-W United FC is a Canadian soccer team based in the Kitchener-Waterloo region in Ontario, Canada. Founded in 2010 as Hamilton Rage FC, the team plays in the USL Premier Development League (PDL), the fourth tier of the American & Canadian soccer pyramid, in the Great Lakes Division of the Central Conference.
The team previously played its home games at Brian Timmis Stadium and Ron Joyce Stadium in Hamilton, Ontario, but has played its games since 2013 at University Stadium in Waterloo, Ontario, after the club was moved to Kitchener-Waterloo and renamed following the 2012 season.
The men's team also has a sister women's team, K-W United FC, who play in the USL W-League, but has no affiliation with SC Waterloo Region.
Hamilton FC Rage was announced as a USL Premier Development League expansion franchise on February 17, 2011. They played their first competitive game on May 25, 2011, a 2–0 loss to the Toronto Lynx, but won their second game 5–0 over the Ottawa Fury. The first goal in franchise history was scored by Dominic Bell.
Following the 2012 PDL season, the club was renamed K-W United FC and relocated to Kitchener-Waterloo due to low attendance numbers in Hamilton since the club's inception in 2011. The club has no affiliation with SC Waterloo Region, who also plays in the area.
