It was a day of dreams fulfilled as Chief Kunle Soname, distinguished sports icon and entrepreneur, celebrated his 59th birthday with an unforgettable double triumph — the crowning of Remo Stars as the 2024/25 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) champions.
ProStar Sports International, a rising global force in sportswear and football innovation, has warmly congratulated Chief Soname on this historic achievement, lauding his visionary leadership, resilience, and extraordinary contributions to Nigerian football.
Ambassador Paul Maduakor, CEO of ProStar Sports International, praised the moment as a shining testament to perseverance and ambition:
“Chief Kunle Soname is a living example of how belief, hard work, and vision can transform dreams into reality. Today, we celebrate a trailblazer whose leadership has redefined Nigerian club football and inspired a generation,” Maduakor said.
Remo Stars’ journey to the pinnacle of Nigerian football is nothing short of inspiring. After suffering relegation in 2018, the club rose from the ashes, returned to the NPFL in 2021, and steadily climbed the ranks with remarkable consistency. This season, under the brilliant guidance of coach Daniel Ogunmodede, they finally clinched the title, making them the first Southwestern club in 25 years to lift the NPFL trophy since Julius Berger’s victory in 2000.
In a poetic moment, Remo Stars sealed their championship with a dramatic 1-0 win over Niger Tornadoes, courtesy of an 84th-minute screamer from Olamilekan Adedayo — all on the same day their president and chief motivator, Chief Soname, celebrated his birthday.
Adding another proud chapter to the story, the NPFL’s official match ball this season — the ProStar Evolution Ball — has been at the heart of every game, symbolizing ProStar Sports International’s deepening role in Nigerian football development.
“This victory, with the ProStar Evolution Ball in play throughout the season, feels even more special,” Ambassador Maduakor noted. “It reminds us that Nigerian football is evolving, and we are proud to be part of this new era.”
ProStar Sports International extended heartfelt birthday wishes to Chief Kunle Soname, calling him a “national treasure, a visionary leader, and a true champion of youth and sports excellence.”
