Sharks F.C. is a former Nigerian football club based in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. They played in the top division in Nigerian football, the Nigerian Premier League. Their home stadium was Sharks Stadium although they played some of their bigger games at Liberation Stadium, which could accommodate a little over three times the spectators compared to Sharks Stadium. In 2016, the club was officially merged with city rivals Dolphins F.C. and the two teams collectively became known as Rivers United F.C.
