As part of its continuous evangelistic mission, the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has unveiled its very own football team Dove FC, marking a significant entry into the world of sports.

This action demonstrates the church's commitment to community involvement and engagement in addition to matters of faith, which is a welcome surprise for both sports enthusiasts and church members.

The launch of Dove FC is evidence of RCCG's progressive viewpoint and ability to change with the times. Beyond encouraging harmony within its membership, the club hopes to interact with the larger community by utilizing sports' ability to bring people together from all backgrounds and views.

Prince Dapo Ajibade, the chairman of Dove FC, highlighted the church's goal of creating a team that would break new territory.

Gateway United was drawn in Southern Group B alongside Warri Wolves, Osun United, Ikorodu United Giant Brila, FC One Rocket, Ijebu United, Tradesafe, Crown FC, and Inter Lagos.

He said, “By the special grace of God and with the support of the GO, Dove FC will expand to become the biggest brand in the world. Ajibade further highlighted that the players, carefully selected from the six regions of the country, fall within the age group of 16-21, a move designed to prepare them for potential professional careers.

"It’s worth noting that RCCG is not the only church that has ventured into the world of sports. Several other churches, including the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM), Christ Embassy Church, Living Faith Church Worldwide, and Deeper Life Bible Church, have established their own football clubs.

"These clubs serve as more than just sporting entities; they act as platforms to connect with communities and nurture young talents. In essence, these initiatives reflect the churches’ dedication to holistic well-being and community development, with sports serving as a conduit to propagate positive values and foster unity among their members.

"The launch of Dove FC marks an exciting chapter in the intersection of faith, sports, and community engagement as the Redeemed Christian Church of God broadens its horizons and seeks to make a meaningful impact within and beyond its congregation."
