Bloemfontein Celtic F.C.

The club was founded by Norman Mathobisa and Victor Mahatane in 1969. They administered the club until the early 1980s when financial challenges forced them to sell the club to Petrus "Whitehead" Molemela. In November 2001, after the relegation of Phunya Sele Sele, Molemela sold his shares in the club to Demetri "Jimmy" Augousti, a former Celtic player. After only three years out of the top-flight, the club regained its Premiership status with an impressive season in 2003–04 when they were crowned First Division champions. They also managed to win the 2005 SAA Supa 8 and the 2007 Telkom Charity Cup. In 2009 they formed a partnership with Portuguese club Sporting CP, that included the creation of a youth academy, based in the capital of the Free State. Max Tshabalala, who also owns Roses United, took over from Augousti on 21 July 2014. After selling their Premiership status, they competed in the amateur Free State stream of the amateur SAFA Second Division before withdrawing in January 2025, intending to purchase their way back to the Premiership. As of May 2025, they are looking to purchase a National First Division status. In July 2025, a consortium affiliated with Sports Minister Gayton McKenzie bought SuperSport United, and renamed it Siwelele F.C. McKenzie has been vocal about restoring Bloemfontein Celtic to the Premiership. However, fans have not accepted the new club as Bloemfontein Celtic.
