Galaxy were founded in 2015 after two local clubs merged: the Jwaneng Comets and the Debswana Youngsters.[2] [3]
Galaxy were promoted to the Botswana Premier League for the first time in 2015, winning the First Division South with a match to spare.[4] [5]
Led by Zambian coach Mike Sithole, Galaxy won the club's first silverware in 2016–17, the Mascom Top 8 Cup, beating Orapa United in extra time in the final.[6] They also finished second in the Botswana Premier League and qualified for the 2018 CAF Confederation Cup.[7] Sitole was fired in November 2017, but Galaxy ended the 2017–18 campaign in second again, only four points off of champions Township Rollers F.C.[8]
Miguel da Costa became the head coach for the 2018–19 campaign after leaving Uganda's Vipers SC.[9]
Under Morena Ramoreboli, Galaxy qualified for the group stages of the African Champions League for the first time in 2021–22.[10]
