History

Ambernath United Atlanta FC was created by a merger between Deepu K.'s Ambernath United and Allen Contractor's Atlanta FC in 2022.[9] Atlanta FC Mumbai[10] was playing in Elite Division before the merger, while Ambernath United was playing in local tournaments.[11] Ambernath United Atlanta won the MFA Elite Division in their first year with a very dominant performance under coach Steven Dias, who was assistant coach of Odisha FC and interim coach of Jamshedpur FC, among others.[12]

In 2022–23 I-League 2, the club moved to championship round.[13][14][15] They achieved third place, and failed to secure I-League promotion.[16][17][18][19]

In September 2023, Atlanta FC, which was 50% of Ambernath United Atlanta, was completely taken over by Oranje FC and renamed Maharashtra Oranje FC.[20]

Ambernath United later formed a union with Bombay Muslims to participate in the 2023–24 Mumbai Premier League.[21]
