History
On 30 January 2023, mining tycoon David Glenn has successfully taken over Liga 2 club Putra Delta Sidoarjo with the ownership of the club being transferred to the newly-founded PT. Malut Maju Sejahtera and David's mining company PT. Mineral Trobos Group. David then relocated the club to the town of Sofifi in North Maluku with the aims of improving football within a region known for producing talented players but lacking any teams in the top two tiers of Indonesian football, renaming the club as Maluku Utara United in the process.
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, as well as enlisting Imran Nahumarury as their inaugural head coach. The team will play their home games at the Gelora Kie Raha Stadium in Ternate whilst planning to build their own stadium in Sofifi.
Malut United FC ble grunnlagt i 2010 og spilte opprinnelig i den tredje divisjonen. Laget rykket raskt opp gjennom divisjonene og nådde Liga 2 i 2016.
Malut United FC har ennå ikke vunnet noen større trofeer, men har vært en jevnlig utfordrer i Liga 2. Laget har en sterk hjemmekampstøtte og er kjent for sin aggressive spillestil.
