Dawu Youngstars are a now defunct Ghanaian association football team from Dawu, a small town in the eastern region of Ghana 〔(Modern Ghana - Sports ) Retrieved 7 August 2011〕 who were founded in 1987.〔(Okre Akwapim: Dawu Youngsters ) Retrieved 27 July 2011〕 The club last competed in the Ghanaian Premier League in 2002, but financial problems after relegation that season have meant the club has not since returned to Ghana's top flight. == History == Dawu Youngstars was founded in 1987 by Seth Yeboah, a businessman from Dawu.〔(Okre Akwapim, Ghana ) Retrieved 27 July 2011〕 Yeboah became the club's owner,〔(Modern Ghana: Soccer in the Eastern Region ) Retrieved 7 August 2011〕 and later built the team the Dawu Sports Stadium to play in, which has a capacity of 10,000.〔(World Stadiums - Stadiums Ghana ) Retrieved 8 August 2011〕 Dawu quickly rose to prominence in the Ghanaian leagues, reaching the Premier League in the 1990/91 season,〔 Retrieved 26 July 2011〕 This relegation ended a 12-year stay in the top flight, and it looks unlikely that the club will return to the Premier League in the near future due to financial difficulties. Normally, a club relegated from the Ghanaian Premier League would automatically drop into the First Division, but Dawu's financial plight meant they could not raise sufficient funds to compete in the First Division in 2003 and were replaced by Maamobi Mitdyland, with the Youngstars dropping to the Second Division instead.〔(Modern Ghana - Dawu Youngsters to bounce back soon ) Retrieved 7 August 2011〕 Dawu have twice had the league's top scorers, namely Ghanaians Abdul Mumuni in 1991/92 and Laud Oscar in 1993/94. However, these are the club's only honours as they have never won the Ghanaian Premier League 〔(Ghana - List of Champions ) Retrieved 8 August 2011〕 or Ghanaian FA Cup.〔(Ghana - List of Cup Winners ) Retrieved 8 August 2011〕 In October 2010, Youngstars founder Seth Yeboah stated that he wanted to revive the club to provide employment for young people in Dawu.〔(National Commission on Culture ) Retrieved 8 August 2011〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dawu Youngstars」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
