Remo Stars FC are on the cusp of making history, needing just one more victory to clinch their first-ever Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) title. The Ikenne-based club’s path to glory was cleared further on Friday after Rivers United fell 2–0 to Kano Pillars, thanks to goals from Super Eagles veteran Ahmed Musa and club legend Rabiu Ali at the Sani Abacha Stadium.
Despite Rivers United’s strong first-half showing, they couldn’t withstand the hosts’ pressure. The defeat leaves them seven points adrift of Remo Stars heading into Sunday’s fixtures. If Remo Stars defeat Niger Tornadoes at home, they will seal the title with three matches to spare.
Known for their fortress-like form at the Remo Stars Stadium, where they have dropped just four points all season, the Sky Blues are poised for their crowning moment after finishing as runners-up in the last two campaigns. Their balance of attacking flair and defensive solidity has made them formidable throughout the season.
Sunday could mark a new chapter in Nigerian football, as Remo Stars stand ready to finally realise their long-awaited dream.

Remo Stars’ rise isn’t just a story of persistence it’s a statement of vision, planning, and ambition finally bearing fruit. After twice tasting the pain of finishing second, the Sky Blues have refused to buckle. Instead, they returned each season sharper, hungrier, and more unified.
This potential title is more than just a trophy it’s validation of a project rooted in discipline, youth development, and community spirit. In a league often dogged by inconsistency and administrative turmoil, Remo Stars have shown that success can be engineered through steady investment and clear footballing philosophy.
Sunday is about more than a result. It’s about what Nigerian football can become when patience and planning meet passion. Remo Stars are about to redefine what is possible in the NPFL—and they deserve every accolade coming their way.
