Baroka F.C. is a South African football club from Ga-Mphahlele near Polokwane, Limpopo that plays in the National First Division also known as the Motsepe Foundation Championship for sponsorship reasons, following their relegation from the top tier division commonly referred to as DStv Premiership.
The club rose to prominence in 2011 by reaching the semi-final of the 2010–11 Nedbank Cup, defeating several Premier Soccer League sides like Moroka Swallows and Kaizer Chiefs along the way. They also won the 2010–11 Vodacom League Limpopo division, but subsequently fell short at the playoff stage, to win the aspired promotion for National First Division. 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.
In December 2023, the club only paid half of its player salaries.
Baroka FCs hjemmebane er Old Peter Mokaba Stadium i Polokwane. Klubbens farver er blåt og hvidt, og de har fået tilnavnet "Bakgaga Ba Mphahlele", som betyder "folk fra Mphahlele" på det lokale Sesotho-sprog.
Klubbens mest bemærkelsesværdige præstation var at vinde Nedbank Cup i 2018, hvilket var deres første større trofæ. Baroka FC har også deltaget i CAF Confederation Cup flere gange, men er endnu ikke gået videre til knockout-runderne.
Klubbens nuværende træner er Dylan Kerr, og anfører er Mduduzi Mdantsane. Nogle af klubbens mest berømte spillere gennem tiderne omfatter Gift Motupa, Evidence Makgopa og Richard Mbulu.
