Cape Town City FC

Capetonians have a team that they can truly call their own. A team of the City, by the City: Cape Town City FC became a reality in 2016 through the vision of local businessman and former professional soccer player John Comitis. The team aims to be truly based within the community of Cape Town, with not only support- but input and feedback- from the fan base being of paramount importance to the club. As a disruptive force on the local football scene, CTCFC do things differently, consistently involving fans from all over Cape Town. As an inclusive club with roots in Nyanga, the Cape Flats and the City Centre, CTCFC are able to have a supporter base that is truly representative of Cape Town and the rich football culture of the city. The community development project DreamClub100 includes and empowers all amateur youth clubs in Cape Town, creating lasting relationships, while giving youth in Cape Town a clear path to achieving their professional football dreams at Cape Town City FC. This determination and inclusivity is what has seen the club create success in such a short time as well as a story that the entire country continues to fall in love with. Family Night Football used to be a tradition in the Cape and Cape Town City FC is resurrecting that tradition by playing home games right in the heart of the City at the iconic Cape Town Stadium. This is a ritual that Cape Town City FC believes is finally uniting the city in football. This is a club with a difference – one that works closely with the City of Cape Town and the wider communities to truly engage and create a football team as unique and diverse as the city it calls home.
