The MOBA Soccer Academy, owned by Volker Harms, was awarded a franchise in the Premier Development League on 15 January 2016.

[1] On 20 January 2016, it was announced that former Atlanta Silverbacks player Jordan Davis would be named head coach of Peachtree City MOBA.

Prior to tryouts for the 2018 season, on 21 November 2017, MOBA announced a full restructuring of the coaching staff: Omar Jarun had been promoted to manager, former Jamaican International and Puerto Rico Islanders forward Nicholas Addlery had been hired as an assistant, and former Atlanta Silverbacks goalkeeper Felipe Quintero had been hired as the goalkeepers coach.

"[12] The hope for a rivalry, dubbed the Georgia PDL Clasico by MOBA live-stream commentator Sam Ellis, seemed to be coming to fruition when the two teams faced off for the first time on 3 June 2016.

21 fouls were committed, including 5 yellow cards, in a match that MOBA ultimately won 1–0 off of an Iain Smith goal in the 67th minute.

Later that season, the two met again in Peachtree City in a match that ended in a 3–3 tie, including two goals by MOBA's Todd Fidler in his first ever start.
