AFC Leopards formation
Founded in 1964 as Abaluhya United Football Club, AFC Leopards has a rich history. In 1973, it changed its name to Abaluhya Football Club after a series of club amalgamations, and in 1980, it adopted the name AFC Leopards, which it holds today.
The amalgamation saw the dissolution of several smaller clubs into one, forming the foundation of AFC Leopards.
The club continues to honor its legacy while looking ahead to future endeavours, including a match against Spanish side AE Ramassa on March 24.
