When John Comitis introduced Cape Town City to the South African football land-scape in 2016, it was supposed to be a model professional football team in a sometimes chaotic South African Football League.
This is in a professional football league where some teams still struggle for world class facilities.
Of course, some teams have money, but are not willing to build or invest in their own facilities to sustain their teams. They joined a league where teams struggle to attract sponsors, with some top-flight teams not even having a youth academy, but Cape Town City had it all.
City had a brilliant training camp with stunningly manicured fields at Hartleyvale Training Ground in Cape Town. They played their home matches out of the majestic Cape Town Stadium. Unlike many teams that mushroomed in the PSL in the last 15 years, City have managed to attract good support in the Western Cape, and they even showed modern thinking, offering season tickets.
They had multiple major sponsors including banking giants FNB, Umbro, Coca Cola, Virgin Active, SportPesa, Lift as an airline partner, while Catapult was responsible for tracking athlete data. All of these well thought-out partnerships were aimed at making City a different football team in the league. City have working youth development structures, and many teams in the league cannot dream of such. At the helm of the club is John Comitis, an experienced football administrator, who has more accolades to his name than losses. It would not even be a lie to say Cape Town City was the envy of most teams, and a lot was expected from them.
The club, which has grand plans of building its own stadium, now face a new, painful reality. They will be playing in the Motsepe Foundation Champions in the 2025/26 season. This is the second tier of South Africaโs football. Their relegation was confirmed when they lost 1-0 to Orbit College in the Relegation Playoffs.
But where did it all go wrong, because things were not always bleak for Cape Town City? ๐๐ฆ๐๐ฌ๐๐ค๐๐ฉ๐ ๐๐๐ญ๐ฌ๐๐๐๐ง๐ looks at some of the factors that may have contributed to the demise of the once-promising Cape Town City.

The Comitis family was out of football 11 years ago after selling their stake in Ajax Cape Town. This was the end of a bitter feud with Efsthatiou family. For a while, the Comitis family was โoutโ of football, but before long, they would be back. They bought Mpumalanga Black Aces in 2016, and announced themselves with some sleek innovations.
Their start was impressive on and off the field. They recorded more successes than failures in the first three seasons. It was on the field that they impressed, and they had to because they bought the status of a Mpumalanga Black Aces side that had done well a season before, finishing fourth on the table.
Their first season in 2017 saw them finish third under Eric Tinkler, and the teamโs brilliant form saw Lebohang Manyama win Footballer of the Season, with Aubrey Ngoma also one of the best players in the league. On social media, they were โin touchโ with the regular fan, and that made them a darling of everyone.
