Since the beginning of the club’s existence, Rivers United FC has competed at the highest level possible. They have been doing quite well in this season’s CAF Confederation Cup, where they just defeated an opponent from South Africa to set up a matchup against Enyimba that promises to be a nail-biting thriller.
In 2016, Rivers United was established after the state government of Rivers was successful in obtaining authorization to combine Dolphins FC and Sharks FC. Both of the teams were managed by the state government, and off the field, the organizations were having trouble making ends meet. In 2015, the Sharks were demoted to the First Division, while the Dolphins just narrowly avoided the same fate thanks to a 2–2 tie on the season’s penultimate day. As a direct result of the merger, the crest of Rivers United features both a shark and a dolphin.
Stanley Eguma was given the position of first coach for Rivers, and he guided the team to a victory in their very first league encounter, beating Enyimba 1-0.
The club’s debut in the CAF Champions League came as a result of their second-place performance in the 2016 Nigerian Premier League, which qualified them for the competition. Rivers FC advanced from the preliminary round with a victory in the second leg of their match against AS Bamako of Mali. Esosa Igbinoba and Bernard Ovoke each scored a brace in the match. Despite this, they were eliminated by Al-Merrikh of Sudan in the first round with a score of 4–3 on aggregate, despite having a lead of 3–0 after the first round.
