==History== In 2013, MFM FC took over the slot of Bolowatan F.C. in the Nigeria National League, the second-tier division in Nigerian football. The founder of Bolowotan FC, Toyin Gafaar, a Muslim, handed the slot to the church (MFM) to manage without collecting any money in return. On 31 August 2015, MFM FC was promoted to the Nigeria Premier League.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://m.goal.com/s/en-ng/news/4111/npfl/2015/08/31/14921382/mfm-fc-plateau-united-gain-promotion-to-nigeria-professional|title=MFM FC, Plateau United gain promotion to Nigeria Professional Football League|author=Shina Oludare|work=Goal.com|access-date=16 March 2016}}</ref>
