FootballHow old is AmaZulu FC? The club is about 90 years old (as of 2022), making it one of the oldest soccer clubs in South Africa. Who formed the AmaZulu FC? The club was started by migrant Zulu workers in 1932. The club was then passed on to the Zulu royalty for most of its existence. The management change came with a change of name to the Zulu Royals.
In the 1970s, the Zulu Royals joined the National Professional Soccer League, replacing the African Wanderers. During the same decade, a split in the team led to the creation of a second team, the Zulu Royals United. Over the years, changes in ownership led to further name changes, including renaming the club back to its current name.
Usuthu is based in Durban, South Africa. The AmaZulu F.C's owner, Dr Sandile Nzungu of the Zungu Investment Company, recently purchased the club from its previous owner, Dr Patrick Sokhela. The AmaZulu F.C's stadiums include the King Zwethlini Stadium and Johnson Kings Park Stadium.
