Remo Stars clinch their maiden Nigeria Premier Football League title, ending the 25‑year South‑West drought.
After a thrilling season spanning from August 31, 2024, to May 25, 2025, Remo Stars secured their first-ever Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) title on April 27—three matches before the campaign’s end . Under the tactical genius of Coach Daniel Ogunmodede, the team displayed consistent dominance, matching their longest winning streak of six games and pulling ahead decisively in the title race.
Ogunmodede’s strategic formation and leadership, part of his “IjaBall” philosophy blending possession and aggression, propelled the team to the top . With this title, Remo Stars became the first club from the South‑West region to don the NPFL crown since Julius Berger in 2000—ending a 25‑year wait.
The league just concluded with 380 matches, featuring record-breaking moments—including 784 goals scored and high-octane encounters like Ikorodu City’s 6–0 blitz of Katsina United . The season also saw rising talents and clubs rewarded with significant broadcast deals and prize fund increases, signaling a promising future for Nigerian football.
As Remo Stars bask in glory, Kwara United qualified for the CAF Confederation Cup as Nigeria Federation Cup winners—a testament to the thrilling season enjoyed across the nation.
