History
The club was founded in 1983 by business people in the Vhembe Region. In 1998 the club was taken over by the Thidiela family.[1] After just two seasons of campaigning in the National First Division, Black Leopards FC was promoted to the ABSA Premier Soccer League.
In 2008 they were relegated back to the National First Division after playing for seven seasons in the Absa Premiership but the club made its return to the top tier division three years later.
