Shooting Stars FC are an extremely successful team and have many fans. They won the championship in 1993 and soon after, went to the bottom of the ladder.[3]
The potential of the sporting complex has however not been optimally utilised due to rot and decay making most facilities moribund as a result of what many believes is a lack of maintenance culture. Over the years, many of the structures have been overtaken by bushes and taken over by reptiles.[4]
