About
Barau Football Club is a Nigerian football club, newly promoted to the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) for the 2025/2026 season. The club, based in Kano, is privately owned by Senator Barau I. Jibrin, the Deputy Senate President of Nigeria. It was promoted to the NPFL for the first time in its history after finishing second in the 2025 Nigeria National League (NNL) Super 8 playoffs. The club was established by Senator Barau Jibrin. In June 2024 he told Premium Times that he formed the club to reduce unemployment among young people and “make it a global brand”. At that time the team was competing in Nigeria’s third tier and had won promotion to the Nigeria National League by defeating Yoca Crocodiles FC. It's a rival to local Kano's Kano Pillars F.C.
