El-Kanemi Warriors Football Club is based in Maiduguri, Borno State. The club was founded in 1986, and they play their home games at El-Kanemi Stadium.
They currently play in the Northern Conference (Group A) of the Nigeria National League (NNL). The club has a history of playing top flight football but were relegated to the nation’s second tier, NNL, in 2007.
It took the warriors about five years to return to the premier division, and due to security concerns in the region (Boko Haram) in 2014 they played their home games in Kano. Between 2015 to 2016, they hosted their home games at the Muhammadu Dikko Stadium in Katsina before returning to their home El-Kanemi Stadium.
