In a landmark moment for Nigerian football, Remo Stars FC has clinched the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) title for the 2024/2025 season, securing their first-ever championship with three matches to spare. The Ogun State club sealed their historic victory with a 1-0 win over Niger Tornadoes on match-day 35, reaching 68 points—an unassailable 10-point lead over second-placed Rivers United.
Founded in 2004 by visionary entrepreneur Kunle Soname as Dender FC, Remo Stars’ journey from humble beginnings in Lagos’ Ketu area to national champions has been nothing short of remarkable. The club now boasts a thriving academy, a women’s team, and a world-class stadium in Ikenne. Under the leadership of Coach Daniel Ogunmodede, Remo Stars have developed a distinctive, youth-focused playing philosophy, transforming grassroots talents into professional stars.
Olamilekan Adedayo’s decisive 83rd-minute goal against Niger Tornadoes ignited celebrations among fans and players alike, marking a major milestone for Southwest Nigerian football—the first NPFL title for a club from the region since Julius Berger’s 1991 triumph. This achievement not only cements Remo Stars’ place among Nigeria’s football elite but also sets a powerful example for aspiring players and clubs nationwide.
