History

Supersport was a soccer club wholly owned by SuperSport, the South African group of television channels.
The club was originally known as Pretoria City. City was purchased by M-Net in 1994. M-Net received approval from the National Soccer League and the club was renamed.
The club comprised a professional football team affiliated to the Premier Soccer League as well as various youth academy teams in the SuperSport United Youth Academy playing within their respective SAFA structures.
Home matches were usually played at Lucas Moripe Stadium in Atteridgeville, Pretoria, as well as the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane.
The club's youth academy was one of the best in the country. Some of the graduates were Daine Klate, Kermit Erasmus, Ronwen Williams all three from Port Elizabeth and Kamohelo Mokotjo. They have previously been linked with English Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur and Dutch side Feyenoord.
Following the club's sale to Siwelele, owned by Calvin Lee John, the son of the Minister of Sport, Gayton McKenzie, in 2025, the governing Premier Soccer League again faced criticism for its regulations that permit long-standing clubs to be sold to consortiums buying their way into the Premiership. League or cup winners that have been sold this way include Manning Rangers, Wits, Moroka Swallows and Bloemfontein Celtic.
