Ambernath United-Atlanta Football Club was an Indian professional football club created from a merger of Ambernath United FC and Atlanta FC. Based in Mumbai, Maharashtra, they competed in the MFA Elite Division.[1][2] The club was promoted to the I-League 2.[3][4][5][6][7] In 2023, Maharashtra Oranje FC took over Atlanta Football Club and earned the I-League 2 spot. Ambernath United FC joined hands with Bombay Muslims FC to form Ambernath United-Bombay Muslims FC that competed in the MFA Premier League.[8]
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]
