Singida Black Stars

Singida Black Stars FC is a Tanzanian football club based in Mtipa in the Singida Region that currently competes in the Tanzanian Premier League.

Founded as Ihefu SC in 2016, the club bounced between the Championship League and the Premier League during its first few seasons. They were promoted to the top flight for the first time in 2020 and then again after winning the second-tier championship in 2022. In late 2023, the club was purchased by a new owner after it had fallen into a difficult financial situation.

The club rebranded to Singida Black Stars FC in spring 2024. As part of the rebrand, the new club ownership relocated the club from the outskirts of Mbeya to the Singida Region. In 2025, the club advanced to the final of the Tanzania FA Cup. A victory would have been the club's first-ever major trophy. That season, under Kenyan manager David Ouma, the club qualified for a continental competition for the first time. With its fourth place finish in the 2024–25 Tanzanian Premier League, the team qualified for the 2025–26 CAF Confederation Cup.
