History

Elmina Sharks F.C. was born out of Coconut Grove Beach Resort in 1999. Elmina Sharks was formerly known as Coconut Grove Sharks FC and the team started as division one league team. The team was in the division two league for seven years and later on moved to division one in 2011.[2] In the 2016 season, the team won promotion to the Ghana Premier League.[3]

Elmina Sharks played two and a half seasons in the Ghana Premier League, finishing mid-table in 2017 and failing to make the playoff stage in 2019, with the 2018 season suspended due to corruption.[4]

The team faced liquidation in 2019 after the Ndoum sports group allegedly failed to pay debtors.[5]
