Chapter One

Where It Began

Alhamdu FC's story starts in 2012, on local pitches, under a different name.

Falal Larry Abdul Karim established the club in 2012 under the name Kaizer Chiefs GH. Under his leadership, the team achieved remarkable success, clinching the Gala Cup and emerging victorious in the tournament — a triumph made possible through the invaluable contributions of coaches James Quartey and Zainu Alhassan, who were invited to the project by Falal Larry Abdul Karim.

The team's journey continued across various tournaments, enabling some players to secure professional contracts in Europe — proof of the talent on the roster and the work put in by all three men behind it. In 2022, Falal Larry Abdul Karim, James Quartey and Zainu Alhassan made the decision to elevate the side to official club status, changing its name to Alhamdu FC and formalising its commitment to excellence and professionalism.
