Their story reads like an epic:
- 2018: Relegated. Written off. Left behind.
- 2021: Against the odds, promotion from the Nigeria National League.
- 2022: Third place finish — the continent notices.
- 2023: Second place — heartbreak, but a signal of what’s coming.
- 2024: Another runner-up finish — closer, but not yet.
- 2025: Champions — at last, at last.
It was a journey measured not just in matches, but in miles walked in the dark when no spotlight was shining.
On a night already marked by destiny — Chief Kunle Soname’s 59th birthday — the stars aligned. In the 84th minute, Olamilekan Adedayo sent a rocket into the net against Niger Tornadoes. That goal wasn’t just for three points; it was the final stitch in a tapestry seven years in the making.
And so, Remo Stars did what no Southwestern team had done in 25 years — lifting the NPFL trophy high, from the small town of Ikenne to the hearts of millions.
Coach Daniel Ogunmodede, a symbol of patience and precision, joins the legends of Nigerian football — his blueprint of youth development, tactical bravery, and family spirit now the gold standard for others to follow.
Remo Stars’ story reminds us:
That failure is never final.
That dreams grow even in rocky soil.
That with time, heart, and relentless work — even the most unlikely can rise to reign.
Tonight, Nigeria celebrates new kings.
And somewhere in the skies over Ikenne, the stars are shining a little brighter.
