History

Singida Fountain Gate FC was founded in 2010 as a team of DTB Bank employees known as Diamond Trust Bank Football Club (DTB FC) before changing their name. DTB FC later gained popularity after performing well in bank bonanzas throughout the country, prompting the bank's leadership to invest in the team officially and advocate for it to compete in the First Division League (Championship). In 2022, DTB Bank discontinued their ownership of the football team in order to focus on its core banking functions after the club gained promotion to the Premier League. This gave stakeholders in the Singida Region the opportunity to purchase the team and change its name from DTB FC to Singida Big Stars similar to Singida United.

In 2022–2023 season, the Singida Big Stars Club began playing in the Tanzanian Premier League. The team performed well by recruiting high-quality international players as well as players from major Tanzanian clubs such as Simba, Yanga, Azam, Mtibwa, Mbeya City, and others. The Singida Big Stars club's success is built on the calibre of its players, technical bench, and strong leadership. The club placed fourth (4th) in their debut season and qualified for the 2023–24 CAF Confederation Cup
