“It was an appreciable gift as it was the first time a team in the state would qualify for a CAF competition after 27 years when Abiola Babes did it last”, Adeleke said.
He also set his expectation as well as the entire FA having faith in Remo Stars to qualify once again and do better this time in the 2022/23 Abridged NPFL season based on the experience they now have.
“We’re hoping Remo Stats will do better and qualify again for the CAF competition. We trust them to improve on the experiences despite having little experience then and we’re looking forward to a better cohesion and performance”, Adeleke concluded.
