Welcome to BolaFootballClub
Friends
without borders.
From Casablanca to Algiers to Tunis and beyond to the diaspora, a shared culture and love for football unites us. Both brands, one based in the UK and the other in France, celebrate the spirit, identity, and brotherhood of Maghrebians wherever they are. Each country has its own reversible jersey, all while connecting the entire Maghreb community.

Since we’re bringing back the brand with the three stripes, let’s bring back ama-straight back.
Be it a fullback or a wingback, somebody needs to track back,
way back to when shin pads were pulled all the way up to the kneecaps.
It’s interesting how the straight-back hairstyle often belonged to the players with real ball control, our number 10s, the artists.
From the dazzling John Shoes Moshoeu at AFCON ’96, when Bafana lifted the trophy on home soil, to Steven Pienaarpulling the strings in the 2010s era, and the midfield general Teko Modise.
You can add Shabalala and Yeye to that lineage, and ofcourse Beyoncé — straight-back dreadlocks and pure football intelligence. And, at times, even the most unlikely hard man in the game, Siyabonga Sangweni.
Same hairstyle.
Different roles.
One football language.

The Kasi Flavour
1992 Bafana FIFA Inaugural jersey.
This jersey means a lot to us because it was the jersey Bafana used to play their first international match after readmission took place in July 7, 1992 against Cameroon. - Kasi Flavour 10
For valentine’s Sake with Cakes and Nandi for Thebe Magagu.
Zakes Bantwini & Nandi Madida just dropped the 🔥 new Magugu F.C. training kit for Valentine's Day! Pink jerseys, dresses with obi belts, and even custom name printing. Plus, a new Zakes/Nandi project is coming this year!
Bafana Bafana’s journey has been a rollercoaster — from the glory of AFCON 1996 and the gold-striped Kappa kit that defined a golden era, to the heartbreak of years without World Cup qualification.
2010 brought unity, joy, and that unforgettable yellow Adidas jersey, even if the results didn’t match the spirit.
Those moments — the goals, the kits, the pride — remind us of a time when South Africa truly believed in its beautiful game.

Limited presents their first
T-shirt to kick off their football T collection.
Limited presents their first T-shirt to kick off their football T collection. Black and white, simple and straight. Aesthetically, solid black shirts always seem to be a winner. The Limited shirts boast a bold capital L on the left, with a clean logotype on the "sponsors space". In terms of the logo, they went old school with a crest and a golden star, we see it's some championship energy there. Closing off with some white/grey sleeves and collars to balance the black.
96 ‘Til Infinity
Remember the glory days of Bafana Bafana? From the electric atmosphere of the 2010 World Cup to the iconic 1996 AFCON victory, South Africa has tasted footballing greatness.
Editorial Naija
In 2018 Nigeria and Nike set the the world ablaze with the Naija World Cup kit, being a modern day favourite when it comes to football kits. This is also sparked a lot of infusion between football and culture. It was a brave and bold approach by the Nike design team going into the Russia World Cup. It seems like Nike is paying more attention to the Nigerian Federation now and not just doing template designs, we see this in the new 2020 kit.

From the white and green beginnings to the bold red and yellow of the 2000s, Cameroon’s kits have always carried the spirit of The Indomitable Lions.

Cameroon through the years.
This piece is a passionate lament for the loss of Bloemfontein Celtic, a beloved South African football club, and a critique of the Premier Soccer League (PSL) for allowing its relocation and rebranding, arguing that the decision disregards the team's rich history, the vibrant and unwavering loyalty of its fans, and the essential role of fan culture in South African football, prioritizing financial gain over the emotional connection between supporters and their team, leaving fans feeling betrayed and calling for the PSL to recognize the importance of preserving the deep-rooted relationships between clubs and their communities.
