Accra Hearts of Oak are celebrating 115 years of existence today, Wednesday, November 11, 115 years after the club's founding in 1911.

In an anniversary message posted on X, the Phobians declared "115 YEARS OF PRIDE. 115 YEARS OF GLORY!", describing the club as born in 1911, built on passion and driven by an unbreakable spirit.

The milestone comes three days after Hearts thrashed Heart of Lions 3-0 in a Ghana Premier League Matchweek 10 meeting at the University of Ghana Stadium in Legon on Sunday.

A second post followed later in the morning: "Every picture tells a story. Every generation leaves a legacy."

Hearts have won the Ghana Premier League 21 times and the FA Cup a record 12 times. Their continental honours include the 2000 CAF Champions League, the 2001 CAF Super Cup and the 2004 CAF Confederation Cup.

He argued that the club's greatness should be judged by the strength of its institutions and the integrity of its administration, not trophies alone.

He credited board chairman Togbe Afede XIV with steady leadership and with the redevelopment of the club's Phobia House headquarters and the academy complex at Kpobiman.

On the pitch, Hearts went into Sunday's game sitting third in the league, and last month extended a winning run in the 2026/27 season. The Lions victory was an emphatic response to a 1-0 defeat at Debibi United, with Ransford Mensah and a John Antwi brace settling the match.

"After 115 years, the oak tree still stands," Nyaho-Tamakloe wrote, urging supporters to keep showing loyalty, discipline and unity. "Its roots remain firmly established in the sacrifices of our founding fathers."
