Mbabane Highlanders F.C.

Mbabane Highlanders is a Liswati football club based in Mbabane. They have won more national titles than any other club, although their most recent league title was in 2001.

In July 2025, Shauwn Mkhize was unveiled as club president, and the club was rebranded as Mbabane Highlanders AM, AM standing for the initials of Mkhize's son, Andile Mpisane. Mkhize previously owned South African Premiership club Royal AM, which was expelled from the league after the South African Revenue Service issued a preservation order against the club for unpaid tax debt.

As part of Mkhize's unveiling, the club changed its colours from black and white, to black and gold, and unveiled a new logo.

In August 2025, Mkhize's ownership of the club was confirmed.

Fan violence

Following a defeat to Nsingizini Hotspurs in the 2026 Ingwenyama Cup, fans invaded the field and beat up the referee.
