Early years In 1984, four natives of
Dormaa Ahenkro, Bono Region led by Agya Donkor, a goldsmith and supported by Kofi Boahen, Iddrisa Issaka and one other unnamed person registered to play in the regional division 4 league of Ghana, bringing Aduana Football Club to birth in 1985. Due to the decision to adopt the official emblem of the
Aduana clan, the group had to seek for the permission from the Aduanahene (who was a paramount chief of Aboabo no 3), which he accepted. Aduana Football Club went on to play in the division 4 of the Ghana League for two years before gaining promotion to the Division 3 League in 1986. After that promotion, the club declined and didn't see much progress afterward.
2010 (League triumph) Aduana's first Ghana Premier League goal was scored by
Richard Addai. On 17 October 2009, Aduana Football Club won their first top flight in a match against
Heart of Lions at the Agyeman Badu I Park in Dormaa through Richard Addae's 73rd-minute strike. They first won the title in 2009–10 when the team ended the season as the fewest-scoring side in the League, setting a world record for least productive champions with 19 goals in 30 matches. With an average of 0.6333 goals per match, they broke the record set by
Trabzonspor. The Turkish
Süper Lig side became champions in 1979–80 with 25 goals in 30 matches (average of 0.8333). In a league of 16 clubs that generated 30 matches, Aduana Football Club won 15 matches, drew 8, and lost 7 beating
Obuase Ashanti Gold S.C to the title by the head-to-head margin which had been adopted by the Ghana premier league board (PLB) in case of a tie, after both clubs garnered 53 points from all the 30 matches played at the end of the season. They were led by Ghanaian coach
Herbert Addo, who helped them set the record of being the first newly promoted team to win the league. They won the 2017/2018 Ghana Premier League after going undefeated in 15 home matches within the season with one game to spare after a 2–1 victory over
Elmina Sharks at Nana Agyeman Badu Park at Dormaa-Ahenkro. The team was led by the late Ghanaian coach
Yussif Abubakar who described their triumph at that time as a well hard fought league title victory. They completed the season with a 6-point gap between them and the second place team
West African Football Academy (WAFA), with 16 wins, 9 draws and 6 loses. They were awarded $30,000 equivalent to Ghs 180,000 as prize money for winning the league The team later parted ways with
Herbert Addo in August 2011
2020–present After several distractions to the Ghana Premier League from 2017 due to the
dissolution of the GFA in June 2018, the
2018 league season was abandoned and the uprising of the deadly
COVID-19 pandemic which also caused the 2019–20 league to be canceled abruptly. Aduana was leading the league before the cancellation with more than half of league matches played. The
2020–21 season started in November 2020. In February 2020, Ghanaian coach
Paa Kwesi Fabin was signed as head coach who resigned midway through the season. In March 2021, the club appointed
Joseph Asare Bediako a former coach of
Berekum Chelsea to finish the season. The club finished the 2020–21 season 4th out of 18 clubs and amassed 54 points. ==Ownership of Aduana Football Club ==
