A FEW FACTS ABOUT BENDEL INSURANCE FOOTBALL CLUB OF BENIN,...JUST FOR YOUR INFORMATION...

★BENDEL INSURANCE Football Club of Benin, also known as Insurance Football Club and nicknamed "The Benin Arsenal", is a football club based in Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria.

★It is owned by Edo State government.

★It was founded in 1972 and is one of the oldest football clubs in Nigeria.

★The club was formerly called Vipers of Benin.

★Club home ground is Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, Benin City, Edo State.

★Club official kit colours are Green and Yellow.

★Before the club's unfortunate relegation to the 2nd tier league of Nigerian football (which is called Nigeria National League) it had never been relegated in its history. So that was the club's first and only relegation in the club's long eventful history of about 46 years, and thankfully enough, they have just bounced back from that now and are back to the first tier of football in Nigeria, the Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL).
