Ocean Boys Football Club were a Nigerian football club based in Brass, Bayelsa State. ==History== Ocean Boys F.C. was founded in 2002 by Sylva Nathaniel Ngo,the chairman of Brass Local Government.

They won the 2008 FA Cup, the third straight title for the Niger Delta.〔(Ocean Boys set to arrest former players )〕〔()〕 Their home stadium was Yenagoa Township Stadium but for the 2009-10 season played some home games at Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin City.〔(Ocean Boys relocate Benin )〕 In December 2010 the team was left in shock by the death of defender Emmanuel Ogoli, who collapsed during a game, and a horrendous car crash in which defender Okechukwu Akabogu and third choice keeper Austino Egbe sustained severe injuries.〔(More woes for Ocean Boys ) - Supersport〕 They were disqualified from the Premier League and relegated in 2012 for not fulfillng their fixtures. All games involving them were thrown out and the league table recalculated. They were admitted after debate into the National League and changed their name to Divine Warriors F.C.''
