President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is set to host Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) champions Remo Stars at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, marking a significant recognition for the club's historic achievement.
While the exact date for the presidential reception has not yet been announced, the planned visit underscores the importance of the Sky Blue Stars' remarkable accomplishment in Nigerian football.
Historic Achievement for Remo Stars
Under the guidance of coach Daniel Ogunmodede, Remo Stars clinched the NPFL title for the first time in the 2024/25 season. This victory is particularly significant as they become the first privately owned club to achieve this feat in over two decades.
The Ikenne-based club's journey to the championship has been one of persistence and determination. After finishing as runners-up for two consecutive seasons, they finally claimed the coveted title, cementing their place in Nigerian football history.
Continental Football Awaits
As a result of their domestic success, Remo Stars have earned the right to represent Nigeria in the CAF Champions League next season. This continental competition will provide the club with an opportunity to test themselves against the best teams in Africa and potentially elevate Nigerian club football on the international stage.
The presidential reception is expected to bring further attention to the growing success and professionalism of privately owned football clubs in Nigeria's domestic league.
