Cape Town City F.C.

Cape Town City Football Club is a South African professional football club based in Cape Town, South Africa, that plays in the Premier Soccer League (PSL). The original football club Cape Town City FC was founded in 1962, before being reformed in 2016. The team plays its home matches at the Cape Town Stadium, and its training centre is based at Hartleyvale Stadium, the club's original home ground between 1962–77. History Cape Town City was resurrected when South African businessman and former professional soccer player John Comitis purchased the franchise rights of defunct Mpumalanga Black Aces F.C. Comitis was one of two co-founders of Ajax Cape Town F.C. in 1999 but eventually sold his shares in 2013. In 2016, Comitis bought defunct Black Aces, located in Nelspruit, Mpumalanga, and relocated the team with the franchise license in Cape Town. Stadium Cape Town City play their home matches at Cape Town Stadium in the suburb of Green Point in Cape Town. In 2018, the club announced that they would begin using Hartleyvale Stadium as a training facility but continue home matches at Cape Town Stadium. Rivalries Cape Town is a city with many football clubs and so there are many smaller derbies. However the fixtures against the second largest club in the city, Cape Town Spurs FC (formerly Ajax Cape Town FC) are the biggest derby games. Fellow DStv Premiership team Stellenbosch FC (formerly Vasco de Gama FC) are also considered close rivals.
