Nembe City FC is a Nigerian football club based in Nembe, Bayelsa State, Nigeria.
They won promotion to the Nigeria Premier League by winning their division with a game to go. They became the first Nigerian club since Gabros International in 1998 to be promoted to the top flight in their first year.
The promotion was challenged in January 2013 after a court questioned if the takeover of Dalkat F.C.'s slot in the national League was legal.[1] They were prohibited from the 2014 season for financial irregularities and not passing a ground inspection, but were readmitted right before Matchday 5.[2]
