The Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) is preparing a grand trophy presentation for newly crowned champions, Remo Stars. Daniel Ogunmodede’s team secured the league title two weeks ago with a 1-0 victory over Niger Tornadoes. The official ceremony will take place after their matchday 37 fixture against Ikorodu City at the Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne on Sunday, May 11.
To accommodate fans and dignitaries traveling from Lagos, the match kick-off has been rescheduled from 4 PM to 3 PM, ensuring safe travel under daylight. Davidson Owumi, Chief Operating Officer of the NPFL, explained that the adjustment was made for safety and convenience.
The trophy presentation is expected to be a vibrant celebration, marking Remo Stars’ achievement as NPFL champions for the first time in their history.
Editorial
Remo Stars’ league triumph is not just a win for the club it’s a landmark moment for privately-owned football in Nigeria. In an era where state-backed clubs dominate the landscape, Remo Stars’ rise to the summit is proof that strategic investments, grassroots development, and sound management can break barriers.
The NPFL’s decision to hold a grand trophy presentation is well-deserved. It’s a celebration of resilience, ambition, and proof that football dreams are achievable with proper planning. Remo Stars have set a new standard for Nigerian clubs one that should inspire others to dream big and invest wisely.
