History

edit

The club was founded as AS Compagnie Djibouti-Ethiopie in 1980.[2] From 2007 to 2014, they were known as AS CDE-Colas.[3] They have since been known as AS CDE/Arta The Fairy Mountaineers when sponsored by Ethio-Djibouti Railways (French: Chemin de Fer Djibouto-Éthiopien (C.D.E.),[4] and Arta/SIHD when sponsored by the International Hydrocarbon Society (French: Société internationale des hydrocarbures de Djibouti).[5]

As of 2018, the club is known as Arta Solar 7, due to sponsorship with Djibouti-based Solar power company Solar 7.

In November 2020, the Djiboutian club surprised world football by signing midfielder Alex Song, formerly of Arsenal and Barcelona. In addition to playing for the core team as captain, Song oversees the development of youngsters at Solar throughout this contract period.

In the 2020/21 season, Arta Solar 7 won its first Djibouti Premier League title with 46 points out of 18 games. In the following season, 2021/22, the team won his two-time champion in the local league, this time adding 45 points.
