City Stars spent many seasons in the lower divisions of the Finnish football league following their formation in 1982.

[1] In early 2007 City Stars became part of the Lahti club, FC Kuusysi, and established their own business unit within the organisation.

At the same time City Stars received support from Petri Pasanen, the Finnish international, and Kari Kangasaho, the Kuusysi coach.

Their stay at the lower level was short-lived as another promotion in 2009 saw them back in the Kakkonen for 2010 after narrowly beating local rivals Salpausselän Reipas by 2 points.

City Stars are competing in Group A (Lohko A) of the Kakkonen administered by the Football Association of Finland (Suomen Palloliitto) .
