The United Churches League is commonly known as the UCL South Wales Church League. It was formerly the Swansea and District Church League but changed its name at the beginning of the 2004/05 season to more accurately reflect the teams that now participate in the league. 

The aim of the league is to provide a competitive environment for Christians to play football. There are some quality players plying their trade in the UCL League now and many a player and team who has thought otherwise has come in for a rude awakening. The quality of the football is continually improving and is of a good standard, with current UCL League Champions Emmanuel leading the way. Every team have individuals who can change a game and there are few, if any easy matches now in the UCL.

It is also there to provide an insight for those who are not Christians but who participate in our league, to see that the Christian faith is not a restrictive, but an enhancing life. 

Last season saw a total of 22 teams participating in the UCL, ranging from Ammanford in the West to teams from Cardiff and Pontypridd in the East.

There are currently a total of seven sides from the Cardiff region and seven sides from the Swansea region and teams then from Aberdare, Ammanford, Brackla, Pontypridd, Resolven and Rhondda. It makes not only for a terrific diversity of opposition but a great opportunity also to meet up with Christian footballers from right across South Wales.

With so many sides now participating, next season could see the introduction of a regionalised division structure, based on each teams location. There will also be a Cup competition played in a regional Champions League format with the winners progressing to Quarter, Semi and Final knockout stages.
