Yebo Yes United is a South African fourth division football club. The club currently plays in the SAB Regional League and is the Development and Feeder Club to Orlando Pirates Football Club. The relationship works in two ways Yebo Yes United develops players for Orlando Pirates and in exchange Orlando Pirates sponsors transport and on field equipment. The club is a fully competitive entity and can be classed as semi professional in nature. The club's home venue is Arthur Block Park in Mayfair, Johannesburg.
History Yebo Yes United was established in 1999 as a development and feeder club to Orlando Pirates. The original club name and logo were conceptualised to reflect an association with South African telecommunications companies that sponsored the club at the time.
Rebranding On 18 August 2015, the club rebranded to usher in a new era of professionalism. The club moved away from its initial branding concept of The Yes Men to become The Soweto Starlings. The Soweto Starlings concept reflects a tribal greater blue-eared starling bird, above a three dimensional ball framed within a two tone interlinking crest which represents unity.
