Elmina Sharks Football Club is a professional football team based in the historic coastal town of Elmina in Ghana's Central Region, competing in the Ghana Premier League since their promotion. Founded in 1999, the club takes its name from the fishing heritage of Elmina and plays home matches at the Nduom Sports Stadium. The Sharks have established themselves as a competitive side in Ghana's top-flight football, representing one of the country's most historic settlements.
The club was established in 1999 during a period of expansion in Ghanaian football, taking inspiration from Elmina's centuries-old fishing industry and maritime culture. Elmina itself is one of Ghana's oldest towns, home to the UNESCO-listed Elmina Castle built by the Portuguese in 1482. The club has worked to build a strong local identity, connecting modern sporting achievement with the town's rich coastal heritage.
The Nduom Sports Stadium in Elmina hosts Elmina Sharks' home matches during the Ghana Premier League season, typically running from September to June. Match tickets are usually available at the stadium on game days, with fixtures announced through the Ghana Football Association and club social media channels.

Elmina Sharks FC is based in the town that hosts Ghana's oldest European building - Elmina Castle was constructed in 1482, making it older than Christopher Columbus's arrival in the Americas by a decade.
