ROZA Sports Association (ROZA) was founded on June 9, 1981 on 12^th Street, Monrovia, Liberia as a soccer team. Soccer is a traditional as well as cultural sport for many Liberian / West African young men. It helps to build leadership skills, brings sense of belonging and association to many and is builds self esteem for the the ones who need directions and guidance. Through soccer, young men can easily measure their development by comparing to / with others on the team, they can can lend support to one another and sometimes, they use the team / association to defend the community image and pride.

For the above and other reasons, a group of young men (Michael Kojo, Ben Federicks, Samuel Dansee, Solomon Duncan and James Bodywork Karrow) came together to support Rufus Arkoi in the formation of ROZA Sports Association. From 1981 to present, ROZA has remained actively playing under the LFA.
