The buyers are retired M. Hummels, and those who have not yet hung up their boots Y. Sommer (“Club Brugge”), T. Muller (“Vancouver Whitecaps”), and L. Hernandez (Paris “Saint-Germain”).

In recent years, “Estrela Amadora” has experienced rapid growth. After the 2011 bankruptcy, only the club’s youth academy operated for a long time, and the men’s team was restored only in 2018, starting from the lowest national division.
After merging with the “Sintra” team, which played in the third division at the time, “Amadora” returned to the third division after just two years. The path to the elite also did not take long – since 2023, the club has been competing in the top Portuguese league.
