Milford F.C. is a South African soccer club based in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal. They currently play in the South African Premiership from 2026-27 after promotion from National First Division in 2025-26.

History

Milford campaigned for many years in the KwaZulu-Natal stream of the SAFA Second Division before purchasing the National First Division status of Uthongathi prior to the start of the 2023–24 season.[2][3][4]

After a poor start to its first season in the second tier, including losing its first four games without scoring a goal, the club sacked its coach Asanda Mvalo.[5]

2025–26 season

The Stallions had their best run in the 2025–26 Nedbank Cup when they defeated Mkhambathi 2–0 in the round of 16.[6] They reached the semi-finals after defeating top flight side Sekhukhune United 3–2 via penalties after the matched ended in a 2–2 draw.[7]

Milford achieved further success by earning promotion from the 2025–26 National First Division after winning the playoffs and play in South African Premiership for the first time in their history.[8]
