Football fans in Bloemfontein have been waiting with bated breath for the return of professional football to the City of Roses, and their wait is finally over. On Tuesday, Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila (TTM) confirmed that they will be relocating to the Dr Petrus Molemela Stadium in the city, starting with their fixture against Casric Stars on 18 February.
The move has been highly anticipated, with news of the mooted relocation of TTM having been doing the rounds for some time. The team, which hails from Limpopo, currently campaign in the Motsepe Foundation Championship, and find themselves second from bottom having won just five of their 17 matches this season.
The relocation of TTM marks a new era for football in Bloemfontein, with the city having been without a professional team since the sale of Bloemfontein Celtic back in 2021. This was followed by the sale of Free State Stars to Casric last year, leaving the football-loving city without a team to call their own.

With the relocation of TTM, Bloemfontein will now have a professional football team to call their own once again, and football fans in the city will no doubt be looking forward to the return of the beautiful game to the City of Roses.
