The association was founded under the name Charles Lwanga in 1947 by the Catholic clergyman Ambroise Ouédraogo, in a phase that was characterized by numerous associations in the French colony of Upper Volta, which was restored in the same year . The name of the association was chosen in memory of the Ugandan martyr Karl Lwanga . After Modèle Sport , Charles Lwanga was Ouagadougou's second officially registered club and therefore had to travel to Bobo-Dioulasso to host games , the economically important city in western Upper Volta, where the history of football in what is now Burkina Faso began in the mid-1930s took. In 1958 the club merged with the Racing Club founded by Raoul Gabriel Traoré to form Jeanne d'Arc (JAO). In the first game of a Upper Voltaic selection in April 1960 against Madagascar , four JAO players were in the squad: Fousséni Traoré, Ahmadou Bamba, Emmanuel Ouédraogo and Zingoudi Kaboré. At the suggestion of then President Titinga Pacere , the club was renamed the Yennenga Club , after the legendary Mossi Princess Yennenga , and was given its current name in 1988.

From 2002 to 2004 ASFA-Yennenga won the national championship three times in a row, and from 2009 to 2012 four times in a row. The greatest international success came in 1991 with reaching the quarter-finals in the African Cup Winners' Cup . In 2004, ASFA-Y only failed on penalties in the second round duel of the CAF Champions League against Ajax Cape Town . In all eleven other participations in continental competitions, the club failed at the latest in the first main round.
