History
BCC Lions Football Club of Gboko rose with bank sponsorship to win the Nigerian FA Cup and appear in African competition, becoming one of Middle Belt football’s proudest names. After the sponsor era faded the club slipped from the top flight but remains a historic Gboko reference. Home was Gboko Township Stadium. Lions fans still treat the purple years as local legend.
