About

The Wits University Football Club (WUFC) was established in 1921 and is still going strong as the club celebrates its centenary this year.

Over the years, the club brags three championship titles, winning the MTN 8 Tournament in 2016, the Telkom Knockout in 2017 and the 2016/2017 Absa Premiership (Now known as the DSTV Premiership).

The club has both men's and women's teams and competes in the annual University Sports South Africa (USSA) Football Tournament, the Varsity Football Tournament, The World Elite University Football Tournament (China). Furthermore, the club competes in local leagues: the ABC Motsepe League, the SAB League and the South African Football Association (SAFA) Sasol Women’s League. The women's team also occasionally competes in external tournaments, such as the annual Maimane Alfred Phiri (MAP) games.

The Wits Junior Football club caters for football players from U/6 – U/23.  The club is based at Marks Park in Emmarentia, Johannesburg. Many of the players that come from this programme have worked their way up the ranks to play for the Wits University first team.
