Étoile FC

Étoile was the 'brainchild' of ex-Gombak United midfielder Johan Gouttefangeas. He was the chairman of Étoile since its formation in 2010. Étoile Football Cub became the eighth team defined by foreign team composition to compete in the S.League. In its debut season, Étoile won the 2010 Singapore League Cup in a 3–1 win over Woodlands Wellington FC. The club then won 3rd place in the 2010 Singapore Cup. Étoile became the first foreign team to win the S.League title following a 4–2 win over Albirex Niigata (S) at the Jurong East Stadium on the final day. Kazuki Kobayashi had scored twice to give the Japanese satellite team a 2–1 lead at half time and then goals by Frédéric Mendy and Matthias Verschave sealed the title win for Étoile. Mendy went on to become the 2010 S.League top scorer with 21 goals. In June 2011, Johan relinquished his position as chairman and Hicham Moudden took over. Étoile finished seventh in the 2011 S.League season. In 2012, Ludovic Casset stepped up as chairman. Étoile pulled out of the S.League for the 2012 season to focus on grassroots football and youth development with the creation of Étoile Academy.

Grassroots football

Étoile Academy bases itself on three core principles: Grassroots football is football for all, play is the best means of learning – above all, youngsters should have fun and children are not just miniature adults. They were sponsored by Lufthansa Technik in 2017.
