The Encyclopedia of sport heraldry
African Soccer Clubs
With links to Encyclopedia of World Football Clubs
This is the world's first comprehensive guide to African football clubs colours and websites.
These days team colours change regularly and the designs shown here are only intended to show a basic design which might vary from season to season.
Certain clubs - El Ahly, Esperance, Simba - have a long established heraldry and any change in design will only be minor. Not all African clubs however have this tradition and colours might change quite drastically.
Any corrections or additions are very welcome. Please email to
Anybody who could support the project with a better template is also very welcome to contact the author.
