Can't PROD because it was included in a WP:TRAINWRECK bundle nom at Articles for deletion/A.D. Moma nearly 10 years ago.

I can't find the slightest indication that this club exists, or has any claim to notability even if it does. This this list of champion football clubs from Mozambique doesn't list their name. This list of stadiums in Mozambique doesn't show one simply called "Estadia" with a capacity of 8000 as claimed in the article. No other hits for the club name aside from WP mirrors.

Hell, I can't even find evidence that the supposed "Mocambola3" league exists. The only hits anywhere for "Mocambola3" are WP and WP mirrors, which is worrying. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 13:49, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

 * Request Could a contributor from Mozambique or even with a Portuguese background assist in this? -The Gnome (talk) 09:36, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Redirect - to Estrela Vermelha (Beira), per Soccerway - enough information about these two clubs overlaps for me to feel that this article is a poor duplicate about the notable, existing article. GiantSnowman 10:02, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I don't love the notability of that article either, but I'm fine with a redirect if there's no consensus to delete. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 04:49, 14 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Redirect per GiantSnowman. RSSSF has plenty of mentions of the Estrela Vermelha ("Red Star") football club based in Beira, Sofala Province in Mozambique's post-independence era (e.g., ), and none of a club named "Estrella Beira" (which is most likely a typo and a shortening of the club's full name).

 * Comment actually Portuguese Wikipedia has an article here but is unreferenced and states it was established in 1943 and plays in the 3ª Divisão do Campeonato Moçambicano de Futebol.But could not find any source.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 22:07, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
