Govan is home to the Scottish [[Scottish Junior Football Association|Junior]] football team [[Benburb F.C.]] who until March 2014 played at Tinto Park ([[Drumoyne]]) then moved to the adjacent New Tinto Park. They share a rivalry with [[St Anthony's F.C.]] who originated from the Helen Street area of Govan, but are now based further west at [[Shieldhall]]. [[Linthouse F.C.|Linthouse]] and [[Parkgrove F.C.|Parkgrove]] were 19th century senior sides, who fell into decline and are now defunct.

There were two other sporting venues for local residents and workers located in the south of Govan (with no space available in the industrial northern area at the Clyde): [[White City Stadium, Glasgow|White City Stadium]] and [[Albion Greyhound Stadium]], both now entirely demolished.
