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. In the 2016 season, the team won promotion to the Ghana Premier League.
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. In both the 2019–20 season and 2020–21 season, Benjamin Bernard Boateng finished as the club's top goal scorer.
Il club ha raggiunto il successo nazionale vincendo la Coppa del Ghana nel 2018, battendo in finale l'Asante Kotoko ai calci di rigore. Questa vittoria ha permesso agli Elmina Sharks di qualificarsi per la CAF Confederation Cup 2018-2019, dove sono stati eliminati al primo turno dai nigeriani dell'Enugu Rangers.
Gli Elmina Sharks sono una squadra giovane e ambiziosa, che punta a diventare una delle principali forze del calcio ghanese. Il club ha un forte legame con la comunità locale e gode del sostegno di un pubblico numeroso e appassionato.
