Ughelli Rovers FC: A Glorious Football Future
Ughelli Rovers Football Club, often simply referred to as Ughelli Rovers FC, is a Nigerian football club birthed in the beautiful city of Ughelli in Delta State by Founder Oke Umurhohwo. Founded in 2023, crafted from a deep love for the game. Oke Umurhohwo, whom had been sponsoring football tournaments years prior decided it was time to bring footballing talents he had come across in his tournaments under one umbrella… Ughelli Rovers FC.
The club’s slogan – “Eguono V’ Ovwian” which means Love & Hardwork was created by Gifted Ejiroghene Peters as a testament to the spirit of the club where Love becomes the first critical factor for the club. It is a value that permeates all aspects of the club from the players, showing each other love on and off the pitch. To the passionate supporters that will be required to dig deep for the club to nurture it as it grows, to the community that will carry the club globally, to the administrative side of the club where staff must show genuine love for the club because in all the club does….our first reason is…Love for Ughelli FC.
However, Love is just the fuel. To experience wins will require a lot of hardwork. This is the second critical characteristic that Ughelli Rovers FC must exhibit and imbibe. Realising nothing of value comes easy, hardwork comes into play for the growth of the club. When the club sets clear goals to be achieved, every member of the club must imbibe hardwork. They must dig in deep, on and off the pitch. This is a prerequisite of Ughelli Rovers FC.
One of our core missions to become the prime symbol of football excellence in Delta State with regards to our exceptional and outstanding local football talent as well as administratively.
