Sekhukhune United F.C. is a South African soccer club from Burgersfort, Sekhukhune District, Limpopo, that plays in the South African Premiership.[5] Formed when the owner of African All Stars, playing in the SAFA Second Division, purchased the National First Division licence from Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila and moved the club to Limpopo.[6] In its inaugural season, it won the 2020–21 National First Division, earning promotion to the 2021–22 South African Premiership. Although the club is from Burgersfort, it plays its home matches at Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane.[7]
