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]

African competition

Under Morena Ramoreboli, Galaxy qualified for the group stages of the African Champions League for the first time in 2021–22. [1]
