The confirmation was made via their Twitter handle on Thursday evening following a request by the Rivers State government.
The League management company tweeted “Dolphins Football Club now Rivers United Football Club.”
The LMC granted the name change based on the fact it doesn’t cause any threat to national unity and also abided with community identity, supporters’ followership and boost commercial interest of the League.
The state government is not capable of sponsoring two state teams at the same time ( Sharkes and Dolphs) as the economy situation of the country is not smiling, so they decided to marge them.
Not only have they been renamed, they have also adopted new logo which bears the sameness of both teams and also some player from Sharks have now signed on for Rivers United.
In case you are interested in owning a club, one is now available, as the state government have decided to put Sharks on sale although they are in National League.
In the same vein the new management of National League Side Abubakar Bukola Saraki Ilorin Football Club under the leadership of Mr Seni Saraki have unvelled it's plans to restructure the former Nigeria Premier League giant killers, to make it conform professionally in line with world class football club management standard and international best practices .
