Affectionately known as Bafana Ba Letswai, the Sowa Town outfit has been steadily climbing the ranks since attaining their Premiership promotion in 2020. Their first taste of top-flight football was delayed by COVID-19 disruptions, ending the 2021-2022 season in eighth place. For the next two seasons, they stubbornly held onto that same position before exploding into their best-ever run in 2024–2025.

Under the guidance of their returning Serbian coach, Nikola Kavazovic, Sua shocked the league by finishing third with 59 points, only seven shy of champions Gaborone United (GU). They were the most lethal side in front of goal, scoring 63 times, whilst boasting one of the tightest defences with just 31 goals conceded.
