Black History Month: The Hearts of Africa

In Africa, there are a lot of clubs that have plenty of history. They may not get the shine of the teams in Europe or South America, but they have some teams that have been considered among the best in the world. In Ghana, the heart of the capital city of Accra is a team that carries the name with them.

Accra Hearts of Oak was founded in 1911 when some young men from a section of Accra called Ussher Town came together to form a soccer club to challenge the only other team in Accra at the time, The Invincibles.
