Green Star



Green Star is a football team that currently plays in the Green League, the top flight of football in Taijan.

History
The Green Star Athletic Club was founded in 1973 by members of the Workers' Brotherhood, a fraternal order of lumberjacks and sawmill workers with communist leanings based in Montem Virid. The Stars entered the Interior League in 1973, and soon won promotion to the Red League, the lowest national league at that time. Two season later, in 1976, they were promoted to the Gold League, and the very next year they promoted to the Green after placing second behind the Lepers FC.

Green Star won several league titles in the 1980s, owing to generous financial support from the sawmills and camps in the Montem Virid area, as well as the public support of many Green Taijan Alliance politicians. In the 1990s, the Stars became known as one of the "Big Four" clubs, along with the Capitals, FC Nova Tunis, and the St. Christopher United.

The Stars stagnated early in the 2000s, nearly being relegated on several occasions, before the introduction of eighteen year-old striker Nuno Brotz brought them back to prominence in 2005.
