Bussdor United is a Nigerian soccer club based in Port Harcourt but are playing this season in Owerri. It is one of the few clubs in the country owned by a single private entity and not a state government.The club was founded by Mr. Oscar Igbokwe, President of Bussdor Group of Companies, an oil and gas conglomerate. The club has risen from the amateur ranks all the way to the first division. However, their most "famous" moment was when they missed out on promotion to the Premier League in 2006. On August 12, the last day of the season, Akwa United F.C. beat Calabar Rovers 13-0 after scoring only 12 goals all season. Thus, Akwa won promotion over Bussdor by one goal. Bussdor filed an appeal to have the game investigated, but to no avail.Among its noteworthy players is a promising right-wing defender by the name of Fidelis Bogo, whom according to the NFF's rating will find place among the best in the youth world someday. ogo is known for his speed, agility, game changing crosses, reading the game well and adjusting to counter opponents'tactics, and a sweet flair of play that leaves the fans wondering if he could be a mid-field maestro.
