- KZBZ - 2022-05-20
The Board of Member of The Simulation Soccer League have assigned me to present the new expansion Team, that will try to carry the hopes and dreams of all the football fans from Western Africa and hopefully,the ambitions of whoever loves the beautiful game.
Thus, as the manager of one of the new expansion team, I proudly present you Adowa Accra FC!
Team Info
Adowa Accra Football Club, known as Black Stars within its fan base, is a Ghanian professional football club based in the capital-city of Ghana, Accra.
Created in 1983 by a group of Ghanian professional footballers, that came as refuges from Nigeria. The team has just promoted for the first time to the Simulation Soccer League, being the second team from Africa achieving this (along with Cairo FC). They are also one of the few clubs that won a promotion undefeated, going without a loss in a promotions campaign in the S3 season.
They have played their home games in the Accra Sports Stadium, considered their traditional home ground, pending the announcement of the new stadium.
According to researches and polls, Adowa is one of the two most popular football teams in Africa.
Team Logo/Colors
The team's logo has received many redesigns throughout the years, but the final one, established in 2003, is an alternative representation of Dwannimmen.
Dwennimmen or "ram's horns," symbolizes that the strong have to also be humble. The symbol is a bird's view of two rams butting heads. The rams' horns symbolizes strength and humility through the characteristics of the beast. A ram will courageously fight against its foes when prompted, but will submit when this is wise, indicating that even the strong have to humble to protect their loved ones. This is reminiscent of how many Africans were removed their homelands, enslaved, and still fought for their rights and freedom.
Colors come from the The national flag of Ashanti the gold symbolizing the gold mineral soil wealth and gold bar wealth of Ashanti and a green representing the rich Ashanti nation rainforests; the black horizontal strip the unity symbol of the Ashanti people.
Adowa Accra Kit
The team's kit is mostly based on the Kente Cloth designs.
Kente refers to a Ghanaian textile. Historically the fabric was worn in a toga-like fashion by royalty among ethnic groups such as the Ashanti and Ewe

History
Adowa Accra FC started from a group of 22 professional footballers, that had to migrate back to Ghana, during the events of in 1983 in NIgeria.
The team had been struggling in the lower leagues for the ealry years of its existence, mostly known for providing s starting point for the excellent youth talent of the wider area.
The team became famous after the support of some well known Ghanaian personalities, such as the Nobel Prize poet Ebo Kowah.
The biggest achievement of the club is certainly the undefeated promotion campaign of S3, that lead to their first ever promotion to the SSL.
The promotion resulted into the acquisition of the team, from an American consortium, let by the mining tycoon Billy Bob Morton.
Stadium
The current stadium of the team is Accra Sports Stadium, with a capacity of 40.000.
The stadium was provided by the local goverment, in order to comply with the rules of SSL Board.
The new owner of the club, has announced works on building Adowa Accra's own stadium.
