History
Founded on November 11, 1911, Hearts of Oak is Ghana's oldest football club still in active operation. Throughout the 20th century, it became one of the country's greatest powers, with national titles won since 1956. International success came at the turn of the 2000s. The club won the CAF Champions League in 2000, the CAF Super Cup in 2001, and the CAF Confederation Cup in 2004. On May 9, 2001, a riot during a match against Asante Kotoko caused 126 deaths and is described as African football's greatest disaster. The club continued competing and became national champions again in 2021, maintaining the rivalry with Kotoko, one of Ghana's greatest derbies.
