Leeds United Football: Squad, Honours and the Radebe Link

Leeds United are an English football club from the city of Leeds, founded on 17 October 1919, nicknamed The Whites and based at Elland Road. They won the 2024-25 Championship to return to the Premier League for 2025-26, and they won top flight titles in 1968-69, 1973-74 and 1991-92, the 1972 FA Cup and reached a European Cup final in 1975. South African readers may know the sport as soccer and find their Leeds connection through Lucas Radebe, while Tony Yeboah gives Ghanaian readers their own starting point.

The live modules carry the Leeds United news, the Leeds squad, fixtures, results, the table and the match calls, and they update after every game.

Who Are Leeds United, The Whites of Elland Road?

Leeds United are the professional football club of Leeds in West Yorkshire, formed in October 1919 after Leeds City was disbanded, and they play in white at Elland Road. Their recent promotion and relegation history includes promotion to the Premier League on 17 July 2020, relegation to the Championship on the final day of 2022-23, then the 2024-25 Championship title and a Premier League return for 2025-26. Leeds’ competition and standing for this season appear in the table module above. The anthem, Marching On Together, is the line you will hear most from the stands, and LUFC is the shorthand you will see wherever Leeds fans gather.

Where Is the Latest Leeds United News?

Dated entries in the Leeds United news module cover results, transfers and managerial announcements. Publication dates help distinguish a Leeds transfer report from the summer window from an update published in January. In my opinion, checking the relevant Leeds result alongside a report helps establish the match context behind the headline.

How Can You Follow Leeds Matches, Results and the Table From Lagos to Kampala?

Start with Leeds fixtures, then use the results module for completed games and the table for Leeds’ league standing (or log in South Africa). Each Leeds fixture lists its kickoff in GMT, SAST, WAT and EAT, covering Accra, Johannesburg, Lagos, Nairobi and Kampala. Readers can follow fixtures and results through the live modules. The where to watch module supplies the viewing information for each country, with rights holder details maintained as data. Read Leeds’ table row by points first and goal difference next; the coloured bands identify qualification and relegation places.

How Is the Leeds United Squad Listed?

Within Leeds’ squad listing, positional groups organise the senior players into goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders and forwards. Player details show nationality alongside age and shirt number. Updates to Leeds’ registrations are reflected in the list, so readers can consult it for squad membership before a match. For African readers, those nationalities offer a starting point for exploring the Elland Road connections associated with South Africa’s Lucas Radebe and Ghana’s Tony Yeboah. The Leeds line up module identifies the starting eleven shortly before kickoff.

Which Trophies Have Leeds United Won?

Leeds United have won three top flight league titles, in 1968-69, 1973-74 and 1991-92, the last of them in the final season before the Premier League began. The cups came in a rush under Don Revie, with the League Cup in 1968 and the FA Cup in 1972 both won against Arsenal in the final, and the Inter Cities Fairs Cup lifted in 1968 and again in 1971.

The records module tracks individual club records. Jack Charlton made 773 appearances between 1952 and 1973, while Peter Lorimer scored 238 goals across spells from 1962 to 1979 and 1983 to 1985. John Charles scored 43 league goals in 1953-54, a total recorded in the club’s historical records. And, there is 1975, when Leeds reached the European Cup final and lost to Bayern Munich.

From Revie's Leeds to the 2025 Return: A Short History

Leeds United were formed on 17 October 1919, after Leeds City was disbanded, and the modern club was shaped by Don Revie, who managed from 17 March 1961 until the end of 1973-74, when he left to manage England. His teams won two of the three league titles and most of the cups in the honours list, and the all white kit and competitive edge of that era still define how the club is seen.

The second half of the story is about coming back. Leeds were relegated from the Premier League in 2003-04, and in 2007, after going into administration, they dropped to the third tier for the first time in the club's history. The return took until 17 July 2020, when promotion ended 16 years outside the top flight; relegation followed on the final day of 2022-23, and the 2024-25 Championship title brought them back for 2025-26.

Why Do South Africa and Ghana Hold Leeds So Close?

Lucas Radebe gives Leeds United a lasting South African connection through his playing spell from 1994 to 2005 and his captaincy. As recorded in 2026, he is the most capped international in the club's history, with 69 caps for South Africa.

Radebe was not the only South African at Elland Road in that period. Phil Masinga joined Leeds in 1994, giving the club another connection to the early Bafana Bafana years. Ghana has its own hero in Tony Yeboah, who joined from Eintracht Frankfurt in 1995 and scored memorable goals against Liverpool and Wimbledon that year.

Readers in Nigeria, Kenya and Uganda can explore those South African and Ghanaian chapters alongside Leeds’ wider history. For the registered squad’s nationalities, consult the player entries; international appearances require a separate check of each player’s representative career.

What Should a Visitor From Africa Know About Elland Road?

Elland Road has a listed capacity of 37,633, and it is the ground behind every title, final and promotion in the Leeds record. For a visitor flying in from Lagos, Nairobi or Johannesburg, the practical points are simple: look for tickets through the club's official channels well in advance, because home matches draw heavy demand, and plan around the UK clock, which sits one hour behind WAT in winter and level with it in summer. It is also worth learning the opening line of Marching On Together before you travel, because you will hear it from every corner of the ground long before kickoff.

How Should You Read Leeds Predictions, and What Time Do Matches Kick Off?

The Leeds calls module pairs each prediction with a probability and reference price, using the accompanying form and previous meetings data to explain the assessment. A Leeds win call still leaves room for a draw or an opposition victory, so consider the full set of probabilities. Dated previews remain attached to their Leeds fixtures, while the club overview provides the lasting context.

Planning a Leeds viewing session from Africa means checking whether the fixture falls within UK summer time, between the clock changes in late March and late October. An Elland Road kickoff listed as 15:00 UK in winter reaches Nairobi and Kampala at 18:00 EAT, Lagos at 16:00 WAT, Accra at 15:00 GMT and Johannesburg at 17:00 SAST. With UK summer time in effect, that same Leeds slot corresponds to 17:00 EAT for Nairobi and Kampala, 15:00 WAT for Lagos, 14:00 GMT for Accra and 16:00 SAST for Johannesburg. Match the Leeds fixture date to the appropriate seasonal row before arranging your viewing.
