History

In 1992, Charity Stars Football Club was formed as an initiative of Abram Owusu Amoah, a Christian Minister, Leader and Founder of The Gentiles Revival Ministry, a religious charity aimed at evangelizing the word of God and helping the needy in society.[4] As part of the ministry's charity community outreach development program, destitute and orphaned children at the ministry's affiliate branch in Bubiashie, a suburb of Accra, Ghana were mobilized to form a colt's team (youth) named Charity Stars Football Club.[4]

The team began organizing trials and playing matches within Bubiashie and its outskirts until it was registered and joined Greater Accra Colts League (later branded as Milo Colts League).[4]

As of 2021, the team plays in the Greater Accra Regional Football Association (GARFA) Division Two League.[3][1]
