Ghanaian football giants Accra Hearts of Oak Sporting Club are celebrating 114 years of existence today, November 11, 2025— marking over a century of football heritage, continental glory, and unbreakable spirit.
Founded in 1911, Hearts of Oak remains Ghana’s oldest surviving football club and one of the most successful in the nation’s history. The club has won 21 Ghana Premier League titles, 12 FA Cups six President’s Cups, and the coveted CAF Champions League in 2000, alongside the CAF Confederation Cup in 2005 — achievements that earned them the nickname *“The Continental Club Masters.”
The Phobians’ journey has been one of triumph and tragedy, from their historic continental treble in 2000 under the late Cecil Jones Attuquayefio, to the dark day of May 9, 2001, when 127 fans tragically lost their lives in the Accra Sports Stadium disaster. Through it all, Hearts of Oak have remained a symbol of resilience, unity, and national pride.
Today, the club stands as a beacon of tradition and ambition*, with a passionate fan base and renewed focus under Board Chairman Togbe Afede XIV. With their state-of-the-art Pobiman Training Complex and a young, determined squad currently sitting just three points off the top of the Ghana Premier League, Hearts are intent on reclaiming domestic dominance.
As they turn 114, the message from the Phobian family is clear:
“Never Say Die Until the Bones Are Rotten.”
From 1911 to 2025 — one badge, one dream, one legacy.
