History

The Michigan Stars was established circa 1998 as Windsor FC Spartans, then joined the National Premier Soccer League as FC Sparta Michigan. However in 2014 the team was purchased by Dearborn Sports Enterprise (DSE) in January 2014 and rebranded Michigan Stars FC.

In November 2018, the team was purchased 50% and it began to rebuild operations and came back to play in the NPSL 2019 season. After the 2019 NPSL league season was over, Michigan Stars then took part in the NPSL Members Cup 2019. The Members Cup was a tournament that extended the NPSL season. The Members Cup contained six teams in total. In the beginning of September, the team was then purchased in a whole and on September 21, 2019, Michigan Stars FC were announced as a National Independent Soccer Association expansion team that would take part in the league's Spring season alongside fellow Member's Cup teams.
