Asmara Calcio

[1] The football in Eritrea was started during colonial times, when the Italians ruled the country.

The team won the first Eritrean championship, done in 1940, but was not officially finished, because of the beginning of WW2.

In the late 1940s the "GS Asmara" [3] won the Eritrean Championship in 1945-1947-1949.

"GS Asmara", the mainly Italian players only team, survived until early sixties.

In early sixties or sometime before, the Eritrean Football Federation was reorganized.
