About Ona Ara
The Club's Foundation
Ona-Ara Football Club is a proud sister arm of Ona-Ara Sports International, duly registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) of Nigeria.
Both establishments were founded with a clear mission: to groom young, talented, and energetic individuals in sports—particularly football—equipping them for lifelong success, personal growth, and positive contributions to their families, communities, and countries at large.
What makes Ona-Ara stand out is its diverse pool of talent, with players not only from different states in Nigeria but also from neighboring countries. This inspired the club’s powerful slogan:
Ona-Ara… SUCCESS!!!

About Ona Ara
Our Journey
Ona-Ara Football Club was founded in 2013, starting humbly in a single room. Through determination, resilience, and faith, it has grown into two well-established training camps located in Lagos State and Ogun State, Nigeria, West Africa.
The club’s story cannot be told without acknowledging the challenges faced along the way. Yet, Ona-Ara has always chosen to focus on results and success rather than dwelling on obstacles.

To promote soccer as a tool for joy, peace, and unity.
To empower young people, steering them away from illicit activities and guiding them toward productive and meaningful lives.
To create opportunities for talented players to showcase their skills on local and international stages.
