Accra (Greater Accra) 23 April 2002 - Accra Great Olympics turned 48 years on Saturday 21 April 2002. This marks a period of turbulent existence, perhaps more than any other club in Ghana since the club was formed in 1954. Through all these uncertainties however, the "wonder club" has survived and continues to grow in total defiance of the sceptics and professors of doom.
These were contained in a release issued by Oseadeeyo Nana Addo-Danquah II, Okuapemhene and Chief Patron of Accra Great Olympics Football Club. "On this great occasion as we march towards our golden 50th anniversary we take this opportunity to salute the founding fathers, the council of Patrons, the Directorate, executives, playing body, the supporters and all sympathisers," it said.
It said the motto of the club, "unity", is at its peak once more and added that there is absolute calm in the ranks of "Olympians" after the storms of the pervious season. The release urged members to be steadfast in their commitment to the club and "fight the good fight this season to recapture our glorious past".
It said the history of Ghana football could not be written without the mention of Accra Great Olympics and wished all club members and sympathisers a happy anniversary of great achievement.
