Durban City F.C. (2024)

The club was formed in 1981 and initially played in the Federation Professional League.{{Cite web |title=MARITZBURG UNITED TEAM OF CHOICE |url=http://www.maritzburgunited.co.za/10_History.htm |access-date=2023-08-09 |website=www.maritzburgunited.co.za |archive-date=10 August 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230810230531/http://www.maritzburgunited.co.za/10_History.htm |url-status=live }}

In August 2024, the club announced that it was changing its name to Durban City, and moving from Pietermaritzburg to Chatsworth in Durban. After their relegation from the 2022–23 Premiership, they were barred by the Msunduzi Local Municipality from using the Harry Gwala Stadium, which was reserved for Royal AM, and were forced to play their home games at the Sugar Ray Xulu Stadium in Durban, far from their fan base. With the club incurring an extra R60 000 in expenses for each home game as a result, the club decided to rebase themselves in Durban.{{Cite web |last=Sithole |first=Sinethemba |date=2024-08-09 |title=Maritzburg United to be rebranded to Durban City, PSL approves |url=https://farpost.co.za/2024/08/09/maritzburg-united-to-be-rebranded-to-durban-city-psl-approves/ |access-date=2024-08-11 |website=FARPost |language=en-ZA}}{{Cite web |last=Ngidi |first=Njabulo |title=How Msunduzi Municipality's malaise led to death of Maritzburg United |url=https://www.news24.com/sport/soccer/psl/how-msunduzi-municipalitys-malaise-led-to-maritzburg-uniteds-death-we-are-terribly-disappointed-20240820 |access-date=2024-08-21 |website=Sport |language=en-US}}
