About the club

Aduana Stars FC is a Ghana Premier League club from Dormaa Ahenkro in the Bono Region, founded in 1985 by Adu Ansah. The club reached the top flight in 2008 and won the GPL at the first attempt in 2009–10. Two further league titles followed in 2017–18 and 2022–23, taking Aduana into CAF Confederation Cup group stage football on multiple occasions. The club plays at Nana Agyemang Badu Park, a 5,000-capacity ground named after the Dormaa traditional state. Ownership sits with Nana Agyemang Badu II, the Dormaahene, which anchors Aduana inside Dormaa civic and cultural life. The Ogya Boys nickname, Ogya meaning fire in Twi, captures the club's reputation for intensity on home turf.

Founded by Adu Ansah, a local businessman from Dormaa who formed the club as a community side before it rose through the lower tiers to reach the GPL in 2008.

Who owns Aduana Stars? add
