'''Union Bank FC''' was a Nigerian [association football](/source/association_football) club based in [Lagos](/source/Lagos) and owned by [Union Bank of Nigeria](/source/Union_Bank_of_Nigeria) which also operated a number of other sports teams.

The club played in the first decade of the 21st century for a couple of seasons in the second tier of Nigerian football, the [National Division 1](/source/Nigeria_National_League). At last they were relegated to the third tier [Nigeria Amateur League](/source/Nigeria_Amateur_League) after the 2008–09 season.

The Union Bank FC won again promotion in 2013 but sold their second division spot to the resurrected [Stationery Stores FC](/source/Stationery_Stores_F.C.). Instead the club joined the ''Metro Pro League'', a new privately run professional football league in Lagos. In June 2014 the club secured itself the one and only championship of this league, ahead of [Bridge FC](/source/Bridge_FC), formerly known as ''Julius Berger''. Both, the league and Union Bank FC were apparently disbanded after that.

The Nigerian internationals [Ayila Yussuf](/source/Ayila_Yussuf) and [Bernard Okorowanta](/source/Bernard_Okorowanta) commenced their careers in the early 2000s with the club.
