Roan United holds a special place in Zambian football as the winner of the country's first national league championship. The club was formed in Luanshya in 1962, when the country was still known as Northern Rhodesia. Its history is closely linked to the Copperbelt mines, where football became a popular part of community life.
Known as Stylish Roan, the team won the inaugural Northern Rhodesia National Football League in its founding year. City of Lusaka finished second, while established clubs such as Mufulira Wanderers and Kitwe United also took part. Roan added the Castle Cup that season after defeating Nchanga Sports in a closely contested final. The club later won three more national cup titles in 1977, 1994 and 1996.
Kafubu Stadium in Luanshya remains the club's traditional home ground, with space for approximately 8,000 spectators. Several well-known Zambian footballers have represented Roan, including Collins Mbesuma, Elijah Tana and Noah Chivuta. Mbesuma later played professionally in South Africa and England, while Tana represented Zambia at international level. The club also earned respect for its attacking football, which helped establish the Stylish Roan nickname.
After relegation from the Super League in 2014, Roan spent several seasons outside the country's top division. The team eventually dropped into provincial football before beginning a remarkable climb back through the national league system. Under coach Satchmo Chakawa, Roan secured promotion in May 2026 after a decisive home victory over Forest Rangers. The achievement brought top-flight football back to Luanshya and gave longtime supporters another reason to celebrate.
