Lobi Stars Football Club (formerly known as Mosquito football club, Lobi Bank, BBL Hawks, and Hawks) is a Nigerian professional soccer club based in Makurdi, Benue. The club competes in the Nigerian Professional Football League. The Stars’ home is the 8,000-seater Aper Aku Stadium.
Founded as Hawks of Makurdi in 1981 by the Benue State sports council, the club was renamed Benue Breweries Limited (BBL) Hawks Football Club, when the state-owned Breweries acquired the club in 1985. There was another change again when the state-owned Lobi Bank acquired the club in 1990 and named it Lobi Bank Football Club.
In August 2009, the Benue State government announced the club will be leased to private ownership, ending direct support from the State, but that never materialised. Lobi finished 3rd in Glo premier league in 2012. They also reached the Federation Cup final that season.
