Bloemfontein Celtic

Bloemfontein Celtic Football Club, known simply as Celtic, is a South African soccer club based in Bloemfontein with a large fan base in the Free State, and its supporters were known as Siwelele. The club was founded in 1969 by Norman Mathobisa and Victor Mahatane, and it was later administered by Petrus "Whitehead" Molemela before Demetri "Jimmy" Augousti acquired it in November 2001. After three years out of the top flight, the club regained Premiership status by winning the First Division Inland Stream in 2003–04, and it also won the 2005 SAA Supa 8 and the 2007 Telkom Charity Cup. The club later sold its Premiership status before the 2021–22 season and competed in the amateur Free State stream of the SAFA Second Division before withdrawing in January 2025.
