Accra Majestics Rugby League Club is a Ghanaian amateur rugby league club based in Accra, Ghana.
History[edit]
The club was founded in 2021 by Rachel Ankomah and co-founded by Khalil Njoya (Cameroon National Rugby League Team coach).
In a span of ten days after being launched, the club had signed as an affiliate to Srama Rugby League Recruitment (a global recruitment agency based in Australia).
The club moved on to sign a partnership deal[1] with Youth side, Firm Foundation Rugby League Academy.The deal saw Firm Foundation (whose focus is geared more towards youth development) act as sort of a feeder club for Majestics; immediately promoting any players over the age of eighteen (18) to them and Majestics also supporting them in terms of coaching and the scouting of up-and-coming rugby league stars.
Majestics collaborated with Firm Foundation to launch a youth Centered campaign called "Kids Play Rugby League too"[2] in October 2021. This campaign saw both parties introducing the sport[3] to the community of Ashaiman.
To promote Rugby League while recruiting players, Majestics worked with Firm Foundation to introduce the sport to schools in Nsawam.
On 16 January 2022, the club made history by participating in its first ever tournament.[citation needed]
