**Delta Force Football Club** is a football team based in [Asaba](/source/Asaba,_Nigeria), Delta State, Nigeria. They play at [Jay Jay Okocha Stadium](/source/Jay_Jay_Okocha_Stadium).

## History

The State bought over an amateur slot in 2003 and gained promotion to the then Second Division within a season.. They ended their 2009 season in fifth place of the [Nigeria National League](/source/Nigeria_National_League) after challenging for promotion the whole season.[2] They were disbanded by the [Delta State](/source/Delta_State) government for lack of funds after the 2009 season but eventually reinstated to their slot in the league.[3] They were similarly disbanded in 2008 after players protested lack of funds, but the state agreed to bring them back for the 2008–09 season.[4]

They were resurrected again in 2015 and played in the Nigeria National League. In March 2019 they bought the slot of [Kada City F.C.](/source/Kada_City_F.C.) and took over Kada's schedule in the NPFL eleven games into the season. Kada City took over Delta's spot in the NNL.[5]
