Renegades FC
bahamanian football club
Renegades Football Club (formerly known as Lyford Cay Football Club) is a Bahamian football club based in Lyford Cay while playing its home game in the capital Nassau. The team plays in the BFA Senior League. The team is also known by its nickname of the Ospreys (the Dragons until 2015), to distinguish it from a second Lyford Cay FC that has simultaneously played in the BFA Senior League (as recently as 2013–14) nicknamed the "Warriors". The Warriors serve as the reserve team for the Ospreys.
The club was founded in 1989 and has grown significantly over the past twenty-five years moving from a school-based football program to an established football club and registered member of the Bahamas Football Association (BFA).
Lyford Cay FC won its first national championship in 2013–14. Building on this title, the team became the first Bahamian team to compete in the CFU Club Championship in 2015.
In September 2017 Lyford Cay FC changed it name with the permission of the Bahamas Football Association to Renegades FC.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Renegades FC”, the useful work is to connect “bahamanian football club” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 22, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q19577242. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2015, 2013, 1989 and 2017.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
