Before the 2008–09 season there was a brief power struggle for the chairman position that saw Shehu Gusau sacked and then retained and even arrested.[2] They retained their place in the top league by two goals on the final day of the season thanks to an unbelievable 9–0 victory over Kaduna United FC.[3] They were relegated to the National Second Division in 2011 after a five-year stay in the Premier League.
In June 2013, they withdrew from the league with six games left after they ran out of money following a banishment to Sokoto. They were at the bottom of the table with a record of five wins four ties and 15 losses.[4] The club was disbanded by the state government.[5] In 2015 the state government applied to be readmitted to the Nigeria National League.[6]
Tragedy struck the club on February 20, 2009, when the team's bus collided head-on with a car critically injuring several players and officials. The team’s curator, Ado Umar, died instantly. A recently signed player, Abdullahi Sabiu, died on the following day.[7] Five clubs Kano Pillars, Enyimba, Julius Berger, Gombe United, Wikki Tourists gave a total of seven players on free transfers to help Zamfara complete their season as some players were too traumatized to play.
