Description

Township Rollers Football Club is a football club based in Gaborone. Rollers are also known as Popa, The Blues or Tse Tala, the official nicknames of the club. The club is also often referred to as Mapalastina, a nickname that developed in the 1990s but has never been officially adopted by the club. Rollers is most successful club in Botswana football history, with more league titles and cup competitions won than any other local side and enjoys the largest support base of any sports team in the country.

The club was founded in 1961 as Mighty Tigers, later to adopt the name Township Rollers in 1965. Rollers has an old rivalry with cross town club Gaborone United, the match between the two sides called the Gaborone Derby. Rollers also have a bitter rivalry with Mochudi Centre Chiefs, and matches between the two sides over time eclipsed the Gaborone Derby as the biggest football encounter in Botswana due to both clubs' following and success.

Rollers has a large support base all over the country and have been called arguably the best-supported team in Botswana.
