Durban City are a South African football club based in the city of Durban. Prior to the start of the 2024–25 National First Division, they were called Maritzburg United, and were based in the city of Pietermaritzburg. They play in the National First Division.

History

Move to Durban

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.
