Welcome to Continental Star

Taking the lead in sport and community development

Continental Star are one of the leading Sport and Community Clubs in the West Midlands. The club has its roots in central Birmingham and has branched out in recent years from its original focus on football.

Today, Continental Star FC is a Social Enterprise and a registered charity that seeks to help those within the community that are often marginalised and considered by others as hard to reach. The Club now offers a range of community services in addition to a growing portfolio of sports activities. As well as running football teams for the under 7’s right up to the over 35’s, and a ladies’ team, Continental also delivers a successful after-school Homework Club which targets disadvantaged Young People and women’s help group providing valuable support and advice to the unemployed and lone parents. The club also acts as Grassroots B.A.M.E (Black & Asian Minority Ethnic) advisors to the FA and the Kick It Out campaign.

On the field, Continental Star Football Club recently moved to Newbury Road Oldbury, former home of Sandwell Borough FC, initially ground sharing and laterly becoming the senior club at the ground following the unfortunate resignation of Sandwell Borough from their league.

This sense of security has enabled the club to look more proactively at the advancement of the club, both on and off the pitch. Backroom changes and funding initiatives are beginning to instil a new confidence and zest, which is driving through the development of the club on and off the pitch.

In keeping with this spirit of progress, the club website is undergoing significant development. The new site will communicate the significant increase in club activity, particularly in community affairs. Recent additions to the site include information on UEFA action on racism and details of the CSFC football pitch campaign. The recently introduced Development Section has enabled CSFC to show its committment to the youth of Birmingham. None of this is possible without the continuing efforts of all the teams that represent the Club and their player together with the management committee.

The manager of Britain ’s first ever black-led football club has been honoured with an MBE for services to community football in Birmingham .

Lincoln Moses, has been recognised for his work in uniting communities across the city through the power of sport. Continental Star Football Club, which has traditionally recruited its players from inner city areas of Birmingham , has used football to support, guide and counsel those who find themselves excluded from mainstream society.

Lincoln has been general manager of Continental Star for the past 23 years after joining the club as a player in 1975.

The 48-year-old said: “I do not think of this award as about being about myself, it is about the community I come from.

“I have such a passion for my community and I do anything that I can to serve it. This award shows that change can happen.”

Continental Star now has 15 teams as well as a women’s team and after school club.

“We started out as just one football team, but we have now reached a level where we have become more like a social enterprise,” Lincoln added.

As well as his work with Continental Star, Lincoln is also a member of the FA Race Equality Advisory Group as well as acting as an ambassador for Kick it Out, a campaign against racism in football.

Lincoln, who also chairs Birmingham City Council’s Community Football Forum, said that his mother was planning a family dinner on New Year’s Day, with four generations of the family joining together.

He said: “I think my parents are more pleased than I am. “My family are all really excited. My father is in St Kitts in the Caribbean , where I was born and when I called my dad to tell him he was so excited.”
