History
Baroka won the Limpopo Stream of the SAFA Second Division three years in succession, failing to earn promotion in the national playoffs twice before earning promotion to the National First Division at the third attempt. In their debut season in the National First Division they came close to gaining promotion play-offs to the Premier Soccer League but fell short on goal difference on the last day with a 1–1 draw against Thanda Royal Zulu.
While still in the third tier, the club received national attention by reaching the semi-final of the 2010–11 Nedbank Cup, defeating several Premiership sides including Moroka Swallows and Kaizer Chiefs along the way.
They won their first ever major title in 2018, defeating Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates en route to the 2018 title.
In December 2023, the club experienced financial difficulties, only paying half of its player salaries.
The club's name, "Baroka," translates to "the people" in the local Sepedi language, reflecting its deep roots in the community. Baroka FC is recognized for its commitment to developing local talent, often promoting young players from the region to the first team. The team's playing style is characterized by a dynamic and attacking approach, making them an exciting team to watch.

Their journey in the PSL has been marked by resilience and determination, earning them respect among fans and rivals alike.
