History
Galaxy were founded in 2015 after two local clubs merged: the Jwaneng Comets and the Debswana Youngsters.[2][3]
Galaxy were promoted to the Botswana Premier League for the first time in 2015, winning the First Division South with a match to spare.[4][5]
Botswana Premier League
Led by Zambian coach Mike Sithole, Galaxy won the club's first silverware in 2016-17, the Mascom Top 8 Cup, beating Orapa United in extra time in the final.[6] They also finished second in the Botswana Premier League and qualified for the 2018 CAF Confederation Cup.[7] Sitole was fired in November 2017, but Galaxy ended the 2017-18 campaign in second again, only four points off of champions Township Rollers F.C..[8][7]
Miguel da Costa became the head coach for the 2018-19 campaign after leaving Uganda's Vipers SC.[9]
