Shooting Stars SC

Shooting Stars SC is a Nigerian football club based in Ibadan that was founded in 1972. Shooting Stars were formerly called WNDC Ibadan (Western Nigeria Development Company) and IICC (Industrial Investment and Credit Corporation).

The nickname "Shooting Stars" was added with the suggestion of team foundation members the late Jide Johnson and Niyi Omowon the "Aare Odan Liberty" (Generalissimo of Liberty Stadium) who believed that the players were "stars" in their own right.

Shooting Stars are one of the most followed football clubs in Nigeria and they play their home matches at the Lekan Salami Stadium, Ibadan. The stadium was named after one of the prominent supporters of the club who is now deceased. Before, "Sooting" as it is called by its supporters used to play at the famous Liberty Stadium, one of the venues for the 1999 FIFA Youth World Championship.
