Unique Global Football Club, formerly PSV Wellingara, started as a Nawettan Team in Wellingara Village of the West Coast Region. It later gained promotion to the second division of the national football league in 2015. The Club is now one of the most promising in the Gambian league and have secured promotion to the top flight on two separate occasions, the most recent been the 2022/23. However, on both occasions, they go straight down to the second division.
Thus, it was on this basis that a first-ever private sector led investment in domestic league football in The Gambia, saw the huge potential and concluded that with sensible investment, the Club would reach the height of its potential. The takeover of the Club by the new owners was completed barely a week before the 2023/24 season began and it currently plays in the second division league.
The Club Management is made up of an Executive Committee and a higher body called the Governing Body, which consist of the shareholders of the club. This Governing Body makes approval or otherwise of the strategic decisions and activities of the club. The Club is currently coached by Spaniard Jose Maria Rivadulla Romero, a former midfielder of Deportivo La Coruna in Spain’s top tier football league.
We are currently at the stage of the re-branding the club to make it amongst the best in The Gambia as well as to produce quality players who can be transferred to big leagues in Europe and elsewhere. We also intend to establish a new training facility for that will comprise of an entire complex with a 20,000-seater capacity mini stadium. Other objectives of the club are to equip the kids with skills that would make them have a livelihood when they could not make it as professional players.
