History

On 30 January 2023, mining tycoon David Glenn has successfully took over Putra Delta Sidoarjo, with the ownership transferred to Malut Maju Sejahtera and Glenn's company PT. Mineral Trobos Group. Glenn then relocated the club to the town of Sofifi, with the aims of improving football within a region known for producing talented players but lacking teams in the top two tiers of domestic football. Club was renaming the club as Maluku Utara United in the process. [1]

To prepare for the Indonesian 2023–24 Liga 2 season, Malut United signed a total of 13 players, most of whom were natives of North Maluku, [2] as well as enlisting Imran Nahumarury as their inaugural head coach. [3] The team will play their home games at the Gelora Kie Raha Stadium in Ternate [4] whilst planning to build their own stadium in Sofifi. [5]
