History
Ambernath United Atlanta FC is created by a merger between Deepu K.'s Ambernath United and Allen Contractor's Atlanta FC in 2022.[8] Atlanta FC Mumbai[9] was playing in Elite Division before the merger, while Ambernath United was playing in local tournaments.[10] 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.[11]
In 2022–23 I-League 2, the club moved to championship round.[12][13][14] They achieved third place, and failed to secure I-League promotion.[15][16][17][18]
In September 2023, Ambernath United Atlanta was completely taken over by Oranje FC and renamed Maharashtra Oranje FC.[19]
