SQS United FC

SQS United Football Club or Squatters United Football Club is a Filipino amateur football club, based in Rizal High School, Pasig City, that currently plays in the Weekend Futbol League Challengers Division. Founded in 2007 by a group of friends looking for a permanent club to play with hence the name Squatters.

SQS United has been one of the pioneer clubs to form the WFL back in its maiden season, and is up to now actively competing in the league and its other competitions (WFL 7s & WFL Cup).

Early Years (WFL Season 1)
SQS United was formed during the maiden season of the Weekend Futbol League in 2007 by a group of friends looking for a permanent club to play on a regular basis. Collectively playing as a team, SQS was able to successfully win the WFL Championship becoming the first champions of the league.

Succeding Years (WFL Seasons 2 to 4)
SQS United managed to stay in the contention for the WFL Champions Division for 3 succeeding season after its first championship. During this timeline, foreign players from the roster decided to form a new team composed of all their compatriots and found their way into the WFL. From this loss, the club managers acquired local players from a pool of colleagues working for the same company to compensate for the lost players at that time.

During these seasons, SQS United managed to finish the middle of the table establishing themselves as a mid-table club for 3 seasons of the WFL.

Relegation (WFL Season 5)
Following WFL season 4, SQS United were determined to once again shine in the Champions Division as they entered season 5. But after a run of defeats and a draw from WFL powerhouses and young-revamped teams, SQS found its way on the relegation zone come the Christmas break. During the second half of the season, SQS were only able to secure 1 win to end its most-disappointing season yet. At the end of season 5 SQS United finished at the second-bottom of the league standing relegating them to the Challengers Division come season 6.

Rebuilding (WFL Season 6)
Prior to the start of the new season regular starters from season 5 decided to part ways with the team to seek greener pastures upon relegation. This event paved the way to the rebuilding of the club from its original roster from season 5. SQS United management were able to acquire notable players from different corporate-based and WFL 7s-based clubs (Citi F.C., Caballeros F.C. and ADB F.C.) to help with the rebuilding. Also, during the span of the WFL 7s the club managed to transfer new players from other WFL Clubs and NCRFA-based football clubs.

On October 13, 2013, SQS United faced Garelli United FC; a conglomerate of Don Bosco Technical College alumni and friends which has recently joined the WFL in a season match on Rizal High School, Pasig City. Much tension was brought upon by some of the players from Garelli United are the players which retracted from SQS due to its relegation last season. Some consider this meeting as heavy as a derby game and for some, a match prove a point. The match ended in a 2 - 2 draw with both sides earning a point for effort.

On the 8th of December 2013, SQS United matched-up against XA FC for the 2nd round of the WFL season. SQS fought their way into the lead by half-time leading 0 - 1 away. Tensions aroused during the second-half when there were allegedly 2 non-penalty calls from the officials for SQS. Meanwhile, XA FC found themselves leveled with SQS after a converted penalty awarded to them due to a foul committed inside the penalty area. XA FC gained the lead minutes after the penalty conversion (2 - 1), only to their dismay that SQS leveled (2 - 2) just after a few seconds from XA FC's goal. XA FC broke away from SQS United and ended a well fought game to win 4 - 2 against the visitors and retain their spot on top of the WFL Challenger's Division B table.
