TS Galaxy join Mamelodi Sundowns and Royal AM as the only DStv Premiership sides with a women's team playing in the Hollywoodbets Super League.
Mpumalanga-based side TS Galaxy will now have a women’s team competing in the Hollywoodbets Super League after acquiring Vasco Da Gama.
The Rockets have announced their women’s side will be called ‘TS Galaxy Queens’.
TS Galaxy will become only the third DStv Premiership side to have a representative in the premier women’s league in South Africa, joining Royal AM Ladies and reigning back-to-back champions Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies.
Speaking after the announcement, TS Galaxy Queens president, Duduzile Sukazi shared her excitement and said, “I’m over the moon about this move. It is a dream come true for the club. We are a Club that is unapologetic in its stance towards the advancement of the football game amongst women of this country.”
“It has been a critical part of our agenda to have our lady’s side competing in the elite league just like the men’s side. Our ladies performed with outstanding honour at the regional level, but unfortunately, that pursuit was unsuccessful in the national playoffs for two seasons on the trot. We were left with no choice but to make other means of securing Hollywoodbets status, and we’ve just done exactly that,” Sukazi elaborated.
TS Galaxy Queens will play their home games at the Solomon Mahlangu Stadium in KwaNdebele.
