TS Galaxy F.C. is a South African football club based in Kameelrivier near Siyabuswa (Mpumalanga) that plays in the National First Division (NFD).
The club is named after its owner, Tim Sukazi who purchased the NFD league license from Cape Town All Stars in May 2018.[1]
Prior to purchasing the second-tier status, the club had been playing in the ABC Motsepe League, the third tier.[2]
It is the first club in the lower division to have cheerleaders and this inspired other teams such as Stellenbosch FC.[citation needed]
On Saturday 18 May 2019, TS Galaxy won their first inaugural trophy, the Nedbank Cup, after beating Kaizer Chiefs 1-0 through a Zakhele Lepasa penalty scored in the second minute of second-half injury time. They became the first team from the lower division to win the Nedbank Cup, and TS Galaxy will be the South African representatives in the CAF Confederation Cup for the 2019-2020 season.
