Bloemfontein Celtic Football Club (simply known as Celtic) is a South African amateur football club based in Bloemfontein that competes in the ABC Motsepe League, the third tier of the South African football league system.
Bloemfontein Celtic had a large fan base in the Free State before selling their Premiership franchise to Royal AM before the start of the 2021–22 South African Premier Division season.
Its supporters were known as Siwelele.
History
The club was founded by Norman Mathobisa and Victor Mahatane in 1969. They administered the club until the early 1980s when financial challenges forced them to sell the club to Petrus "Whitehead" Molemela. In November 2001, after the relegation of Phunya Sele Sele, Molemela sold his shares in the club to Demetri "Jimmy" Augousti, a former Celtic player.
After only three years out of the top-flight, the club regained its PSL status with an impressive season in 2003–04 when they were crowned First Division champions. They also managed to win the 2005 SAA Supa 8 and the 2007 Telkom Charity Cup.
In 2009 they formed a partnership with Portuguese club Sporting CP, that included the creation of a youth academy, based in the capital of the Free State.
Max Tshabalala, who also owns Roses United, took over from Augousti on 21 July 2014.

로얄 AM의 현재 감독은 존 람슨입니다. 로얄 AM의 주요 선수로는 골키퍼로 이스마엘 웨스턴, 수비수로 케빈 마카라바, 미드필더로 세파포 라티벌로, 공격수로 피에르-페르난드 은디에가 있습니다.
로얄 AM은 남아프리카 공화국의 유망주로 여겨지고 있으며, 앞으로 더 큰 성공을 거둘 것으로 기대됩니다.
