History
Abia Warriors Football Club is a Nigerian professional football club based in the city of Umuahia, Abia state. Originally playing as NEPA FC, the club adopted the name Ejoor Babes in 1994 in honour of a former military administrator of the State, Navy Captain Temi Ejoor. The Club morphed to Abia Warriors in 1996 with Basil Udwogu as Chairman.
Between 2005 and 2010, they played as "Orji Uzor Kalu FC" in honor of Abia governor Orji Uzor Kalu who helped the club with state sponsorship upon promotion to the professional level. They reverted to their old name in the summer of 2010.
