Forfar United Junior Football Club is a Scottish football team. They are based in Forfar, Angus. The club plays its home games at Guthrie Park.
The current club was created in August 2020. This happened when two local teams joined together. These teams were Lowson United and Forfar Albion. Forfar Albion itself was formed in 1974. It was created by combining two older local clubs. These were Forfar Celtic (started in 1891) and Forfar East End (started in 1881). For one season, the club was called Forfar East End Celtic. Then, in 1975, they changed their name to Albion.
