History


Plateau United were founded in 1975 as JIB Strikers FC.[5]

Plateau United won their first major silverware in 1999, a 1-0 Nigeria Cup final victory over Iwuanyanwu Nationale on a goal by Donatus Iloka.[6] They had lost in the final in 1993 and 1998. They made their continental debut in 2000, but were eliminated after their first tie.[5]

They were promoted to the Nigeria Premier League for the 2010–11 season by winning on the last day against Mighty Jets, but were relegated back the next year on the last day. They were promoted back to the top league on the last day of the 2015 season.[7]

In 2013, their feeder team were one of four clubs suspended, pending an investigation into their 79–0 victory over Akurba FC.[8] The four clubs were accused of match-fixing in order to advance into the professional league. On 22 July 2013, Plateau Feeders, Akurba FC, Police Machine FC and Bubayaro FC were each banned for 10 years, with the players and officials in each game banned for life.

Plateau United won the Nigerian Professional Football League for the first time in 2017, led by coach Kennedy Boboye.[9][10]
