The Free State Stars are a football (soccer) club based in Phuthaditjhaba (formerly known as Witsieshoek), Free State province (South Africa). Originally founded in 1979, the club's franchise was sold to the Premier Soccer League in 2002. The following year, Mike Mokoena revived the club as he bought and renamed the franchise of First Division side Maholosiane. FS Stars managed to regain their Premiership status in 2005 after winning the Mvela Golden League. After a disappointing season in the top-flight, with the first team finishing bottom of the table, the club was relegated. Previous names include Qwa-Qwa Stars, Fairways Stars. The new head coach is Nigerian Musa Abdullahi who was previously in charge of Dolphins FC, Wikki Tourists and the Nigerian Olympic Team.
