History
Coyah was first promoted into the Guinée Championnat National for the 2016–17 season.[1] Founded as Club Olympique de Coyah (CO Coyah or short), had pretty rough times in the league bouncing back between the first and second league. In 2019 as CO Coyah had been promoted they had been bought by Almamy Saidou Sylla who rebranded the club as SOAR. The club became a talent generator focusing on promoting young players. The same season the club finished 4th. In the 2021/22 the club finished second runners up to Horoya AC. The club developed many African talents such as Morlaye Sylla and Béni Makouana.
