Where Passion Meets Discipline and Opportunity
Founded in 2017, our club was established by Zane Mapete, who currently serves as the Club President. Based in Philippi Township, Cape Town, the club was created with a clear vision: to develop football talent while creating opportunities for young players to grow both on and off the field.
The club owner and president is a former player himself, bringing first-hand experience, passion, and understanding of the game into the development of the club. This background has played a key role in shaping our playing philosophy, discipline, and commitment to excellence.
From its early days, the club has embraced diversity and inclusivity. We are proud to be a multi-racial football club, welcoming players from different backgrounds and communities, united by a shared love for football and teamwork.
Since 2019, the club has been competing under SAFA Overberg, currently known as the SAB League. Over the years, we have consistently shown strong performances and steady growth, earning respect within the league through dedication, hard work, and competitive spirit.
Today, the club continues to focus on player development, discipline, and community upliftment, while striving for success on the field and building a strong football future in Cape Town.
