New Nigerian Bank Football Club was a Nigerian football team that played in Benin City. Originally known as Ethiope FC and based in Sapele, it was handed over by the Bendel State government to New Nigeria Bank and moved to Benin City in 1973.[1] It would disappear from the map after its corporate owners started having liquidity problems when the first wave of financial houses crashes happened in the 1980s. The team was relegated in 1989 and disbanded soon afterwards.[citation needed]
