The Kohinoor Sporting Club (KSC) is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year. Three quarters of a century of history, passion, influence and commitment to football and youth in the North. KSC continues to mentor children and young people in the neighbourhood, with the objective of ensuring continuity and preserving its sporting legacy. From yesterday's glory to tomorrow's challenges, Kohinoor Sporting Club intends to write a new chapter in its history. Postponed from 2025 to 2026 due to national circumstances, the celebration took place over three days. The programme included a carnival through the city streets, a reunion meal organised on Rue Sainte-Marie, exceptionally closed to traffic, and a tournament at the municipal stadium bringing together all KSC categories and several invited teams. Drums echoed through the city streets. Behind banners in Kohinoor Sporting Club colours, former players marched alongside young licensed players. Generations crossed paths, memories resurfaced and embraces multiplied. The name Kohinoor was not chosen by chance. From the Indian language, it means "mountain of light" or "mountain of brilliance". A symbol reflecting the founders' ambition: to create a club destined to shine far beyond its neighbourhood. According to Abdou, a club supporter since childhood, KSC initially brought together young people from Antsiranana's Indian community. It later opened to Comorians from Anjouan, Martinique legionnaires and Malagasy people, making football a true unifying factor between communities. A club for an entire people. KSC represented far more than a football team. Its clubhouse was a gathering place for an entire generation of young people. "When KSC played, the whole neighbourhood came alive. We went to the stadium together and the stands were entirely behind our team. Children dreamed of wearing the Kohinoor shirt like their elders," recalls Abdou, for whom in the "Tananan'Anjoany" neighbourhood, football was part of daily life. Engaged early in national competitions, KSC dominated football in the former Antsiranana province during the 1990s. Several players marked its history, notably Mabiza, Amady Kafo, Georges Fandrata, Menakely Ruffin and Soamady Hafany, who later became national coach of the Barea. The arrival of a major new competitor, Cosmos, in the 1980s, founded by Lucien Zasy, former director general of Secren, marked a turning point. Attracted by new opportunities, several players left KSC. The departure in 1986 of two experienced coaches intensified this transition period. "In our time, we played above all for the shirt and for the neighbourhood. Today, financial considerations occupy an important place in players' choices," emphasises Soamady Hafany. Despite these difficulties, KSC still competes in the first division and continues its training work. For its vice-president, Jean Strieland Razafimahefa, this 75th anniversary should mark a new beginning. "This celebration is not just about looking back. It must above all serve as a starting point to rebuild the club, strengthen youth training and gradually regain our place among the country's great teams," he affirms. Beyond its achievements, Kohinoor Sporting Club remains a living heritage of Antsiranana and continues to embody the sporting memory of several generations.
