Ambernath United Atlanta FC was created by a merger between Deepu K.'s Ambernath United and Allen Contractor's Atlanta FC in 2022. Atlanta FC Mumbai was playing in Elite Division before the merger, while Ambernath United was playing in local tournaments. 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.
