Siwelele FC club facts
- Formed: 2025
- City: Bloemfontein, Free State
- League: Betway Premiership
Status history
- July 2025 - bought SuperSport United's Premiership status, reported at R50 million, at the end of the 2024/25 season, ending SuperSport's 30-year run in the top flight.
A common point of confusion: Siwelele are based in Bloemfontein and carry a name long associated with Bloemfontein Celtic, but they are not Celtic returning. The owners of the Bloemfontein Celtic brand declined to sell the name, heritage or history, so Siwelele are a separate club that acquired SuperSport United's league place.
