Detroit originally played their home matches at Keyworth Stadium in Hamtramck, Michigan. The club was later renamed Drita S.C. and played in the Michigan Premier Soccer League in 2018.

History

Detroit Besa was formed in 1974 as a soccer club which represented the Albanian American community in the Metro Detroit, and played in the Second Division of the Detroit Soccer League (DSL).[3][4] Detroit would also make their debut in the National Amateur Cup tournament during their inaugural year.[5] In 1976, Detroit defeated Carpathia Kickers by a score of 2-0 for the DSL second division title.[6] In 1977, the club was promoted to the First Division, and was fined by the league after a brawl erupted between fans during a match.[7][8] The remainder of the season Besa competed in the 1977 National Amateur Cup, but were eliminated in the state semifinal to Detroit Sport Club.[9]

For the second consecutive season Detroit reached the state semifinal of the 1978 National Amateur Cup.[10] Throughout the regular season Besa clinched the National Conference title, and faced Detroit Vardar for the DSL Championship but were defeated by a score of 6-1.[11][12] In 1979, the club entered the professional ranks by securing a franchise in the National Soccer League (NSL), and became one of the few American representatives in the history of the Canadian league.[13][14] The following season Detroit briefly played in the Detroit Soccer League, but returned to the NSL for the 1981 season.[13][15][16] The 1981 team was managed by former Yugoslav player Nino Berisic with an assembled roster of players with experience in the American Soccer League.[4][17] Detroit returned to the NSL for the 1982 season, but withdrew from the competition near the conclusion of the season.[18][19]

In 1985, the team competed in the Budweiser Indoor League [20] The club was later renamed Drita S.C. and played in the Michigan Premier Soccer League in 2018.[21]
