Seamoriow Football Club (commonly referred to as Seamoriow FC) is a Nigerian football team based in Alimosho, Lagos State. Founded in 2022 as part of the Seamoriow Sports development project, the club competes in the Nigeria Nationwide League Division One (NLO), the third tier of Nigerian football league system.

It operates as the senior side of the Seamoriow Football Academy, which runs youth teams from under-10 to under-20 levels.[1]

History

Seamoriow FC was launched in 2022 as the senior extension of the Seamoriow Football Academy. In 2024, the club won the inaugural Peace Cup Scouting Tournament, defeating FC Sporting Bethel 2–0 in the final.[2] That same year, Seamoriow FC also played high-profile friendly matches against Nigeria's under-20 team (the Flying Eagles) and the Super Eagles B team.[3]

The club made its NLO debut in 2025, beginning with a 3–0 win over Orin FC. Other early results included a 3–0 victory against Racine FC, a 2–1 comeback against Bison FC, and a 1–1 draw with 36 Lions FC.[4][5][6][7]
