History
editIn the 2017/18, they were promoted from the Namibia First Division with a 3 to 1 win against Blue Boys from Swakopmund.
The club was promoted to the Namibia Premier League, the top division of Namibian football, for the first time in the 2018/19 season.[1] It was the first team from the ǁKaras region to play in Namibia's top flight for eleven years. Home games had to be played at the J. Stephanus Stadium in Keetmanshoop, as the home Karasburg Combined School Stadium is gravel and does not meet the leagues requirements for grass.[2]
