history

Semereka FC was founded in 2000 , after which the club was renamed Berekum Chelsea Football Club due to the proximity of the club owners to the English club FC Chelsea . Some time later, the club moved from Berekum to neighboring Bechem , which resulted in a name change to Bechem Chelsea Football Club . The fans' wish led the club to move back to Berekum on February 17, 2010 and reassume the former name.

After Berekum Chelsea played their home games in Coronation Park in Sunyani , they moved to Berekum's Golden City Park in 2010 .

The club played from 2005 games in Zone 1B of Division One League . After promotion to the Ghana Premier League in 2008, they were able to achieve a sixth and an eighth place out of 16 teams in the first two seasons. In the following 2010/11 season , the club was able to secure the Ghanaian championship title for the first time with a 1-0 home win on May 18, 2011 over Real Tamale United four game days before the end of the season.
