Remo Stars FC is celebrating a remarkable achievement as five of its standout players have been called up to Nigeria’s Super Eagles B squad ahead of the African Nations Championship (CHAN) 2025 qualifiers.
Recognized for their impressive performances in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL), these players have been pivotal in Remo Stars’ recent successes.
The chosen players include club captain Nduka Junior, midfielders Jide Fatokun and Tochukwu Michael, striker Sikiru Alimi, and right-back Sodiq Ismail. This is a repeat call-up for Ismail, who has earned national recognition before due to his consistent performance and dynamic style on the field.
“It’s a proud moment for Remo Stars and our fans to see our players recognized nationally,” the club noted, as it extended congratulations across social media.
Head Coach Augustine Eguavoen, in charge of preparing Nigeria’s squad, called up 35 players for the upcoming high-stakes qualifiers.
This series against Ghana will determine whether Nigeria secures a spot in the CHAN tournament, scheduled for February 2025 across Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania. The first leg of the matchup, to be held in December, brings added intensity as it rekindles a rivalry; Nigeria previously fell to Ghana in the CHAN qualifiers after a tight penalty shootout.
For Remo Stars fans, this invitation is not just about national representation; it’s also about celebrating the club’s remarkable rise and impact in Nigeria’s top league.
Each player called up represents different strengths: Nduka Junior’s leadership as captain, Fatokun and Michael’s strategic midfield plays, Alimi’s scoring ability, and Ismail’s dependable defense.
These skills were instrumental in the team’s recent performances and helped solidify Remo Stars’ place as one of the NPFL’s most competitive clubs.
Fans eagerly await the upcoming matches, hopeful that the Super Eagles B will triumph over Ghana and advance to the tournament.
Remo Stars’ supporters and players alike are eager to see the club’s talents shine on the international stage, potentially bringing home the CHAN trophy in 2025.
