Established in 1958 by
Greek South Africans, Hellenic campaigned in the lower amateur leagues of Cape Town. But by the 1970s they were one of the leading teams in the country and regularly pulled in crowds of more than 20,000. They were champions in 1971 and runners-up in 1972 and 1975. Hellenic reached the final of the
league cup competition then widely known as the
Castle Cup in 1976, losing 2–0 to
Cape Town City. In 1994 Hellenic lost the final of the
NSL/PSL League Cup, then known as the
Coca-Cola Cup, losing to
QwaQwa Stars 2–3 after extra time. In 1972 Hellenic attracted a number of German internationals who were barred from playing in clubs associated with
FIFA due to their involvement in a
match-fixing scandal. In early 2004, the club's franchise was sold by its Greek owners to the Ndlovu family who renamed it
Premier United and moved it to
Benoni, Gauteng, which was renamed to
Thanda Royal Zulu FC in 2007. In 2011, the Hellenic franchise took over the former Blaauwberg City FC, under the management of Mark Byrne. Byrne sought to revive the quality of the 1970s, to become one of the best youth developments in the country. In 2013, the club acquired a SAB League franchise (South African 4th Division). In August 2016, the club announced that they had sold their
SAFA Second Division franchise to "achieving our aim to be the number one youth structure in Cape Town." Formerly at home at the
Green Point Stadium, Hellenic is currently based at the
Tygerhof Milnerton. ==Honours==
