Belle United FC was formed by a collection of

friends United by a common desire and purpose

for football and social related interest as far

back as 1996. In its formative years, the club

adopted Victory Primary School off Toyin Street

ikeja, as its playing ground before it relocated to

Avian Maria Montisorri school Opebi,Lagos as its

membership grew. presently, the club's home

group is at the Customs Training Field off Toyin

Street Opebi. However, we gathered that plans

are ongoing to establish a permanent home

ground for the club.

The association is formed as a social football club

for young and vibrant executives who come

together on weekends and public holidays to

exercise and keep fit away from the ever busy

work life of the metropolis.

The growth and keen interest in exercise led to

formation of the club as an organised

association.

The club over the years has evolved as a social

football club, playing matches locally and

internationally.

Among others, the club provides assistance to

members in social area and finances.
