What was the name of Bob Marley’s football team in the 1970s?

Bob Marley’s football team was called House of Dread.

Football was one of Marley’s major passions, and he played informally with musicians, friends and people he met while touring. House of Dread was the name associated with his football team in the 1970s, reflecting the language and symbolism of Rastafari culture.

Marley’s interest in football was more than a casual hobby. He often played before or after recording sessions and concerts, and football was part of his social life in Jamaica and abroad. His biography frequently mentions the sport alongside music and Rastafari as a central part of his identity.

The team name is easy to confuse with Marley’s band name or with Jamaican club sides. House of Dread was not another name for the Wailers; it referred to the football team connected with Marley and his circle.
