History
Sankoyo Bush Bucks were founded in 1996 and began play in 2000. They gained promotion to the Premier League in 2014, becoming the first team from the northwestern Nhabe region to play in the Botswana top flight.[3]
The Bush Bucks were docked 29 points after the end of the 2015 season which meant they would be relegated after using an unregistered player, Zimbabwean Morris Ruzivo.[4][5] However, they won their appeal and remained in the Botswana Premier League.[6] They were relegated at the end of the 2019 season.
