Gorilla of the Universe FC (, sometimes translated as Cosmic Gorilla) is an association football club based Macau currently competing in the Liga de Elite.
History Gorilla of the Universe FC finished the 2025 season as champion of the 2ª Divisão. With the championship, the club earned promotion to the Liga de Elite for the first time ahead of the 2026 season. Ahead of its maiden top-flight season, the team rebuilt two-thirds of its roster to prepare for the increase in competition, despite limited financial resources. It also brought in Cai Wenfan as head coach because of his experience coaching first division clubs. The final squad featured mostly locals players supplemented with foreign talent, notably two strikers. The club won its first-ever match in the league on the opening matchday with a victory over Benfica de Macau.
