Steve Biko Football Club is a football club from Bakau in the West African country of the Gambia, located near the capital of Banjul. They play in the GFA League First Division, the top flight of Gambian football. They won the GFA Cup in 2000. While the club qualified for the 2002 CAF Cup, they declined to participate.[1]

Founded in 1978, the club initially began playing in the third division. They climbed the ranks of the league to achieve second place in 1983. In 1989, they played for the first time in the top division.[2]
