History
Ashanti Gold is undoubtedly one of the three most famous clubs in Ghana for its achievements, but nevertheless yields the first two positions to such unquestioned authorities of the local football league as Asante Kotoko and Hearts of Oak . Founded in 1978, Ashanti Gold achieved its first more or less significant successes only in the 1992/93 season, winning the Ghana Cup and becoming the silver medalist of the Ghana Championship. The next three seasons, the club from Obuasi made a kind of “golden” hat-trick, winning gold medals of the 1993/1994, 1994/1995 and 1995/1996 seasons, declaring itself to be the main opponent of the “ porcupines ” and “ oak hearts ”. Over the next 16 seasons held in the highest echelon of the Ghana Championship up to and including 2012/13, Ashanti Gold won two bronze medals and five times became Ghana's vice champion. Of the achievements in the international arena, it is worth noting reaching the Champions League final in 1997 , where the team from Obuasi lost only the penalty to the Moroccan Raja . Ashanti Gold has become the third and so far last representative of Ghana, who managed to get to the finals of at least one of the Afro cups.
