Siwelele FC is a South African professional soccer club. The team was formed following the purchase of SuperSport United for R50 million at the end of the 2024–25 Premiership season.[2][3]
Siwelele is the nickname of Bloemfontein Celtic, and there has been speculation that the club would relocate to Bloemfontein and attempt to claim that club's name.[4][5]
Initially scheduled to play in Pretoria,[6] the club started the season based in Bloemfontein[7]
In September 2025, following a poor start to the season, chairperson Calvin Le John fired CEO Stan Matthews and assistant coach Andre Arendse, citing daily threats on their lives and their families lives.[8]
