History
Chicken Inn was formed either in 1997[2] or in 2004 as Bakers Inn.[3] Their league title in 2015 was the first in their history following promotion to the top flight in 2011.[2]
Head coach Joey Antipas joined the club in 2013, and successfully guided them into the CAF Champions League for the first time in their history after a league campaign that saw them lose just five out of 30 matches.[2]
