The club, fresh off a hard-fought 1-0 victory over relegation-threatened Plateau United, took time to acknowledge Bankole’s national team recognition. His call-up marks a significant moment for both the shot-stopper and the club, as Remo Stars continue to prove their dominance in Nigerian football.
“Congratulations to our goalkeeper, Kayode Bankole, on making the Super Eagles provisional list for this month’s crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying matches against Rwanda and Zimbabwe,” the club stated, celebrating the achievement of one of their key players.
The victory against Plateau United, which extended Remo Stars’ lead at the top of the league to 11 points, came courtesy of debutant Samson Olasupo. The young forward, who replaced Sikiru Alimi in the first half, marked his debut in style, netting the winning goal in the 74th minute to secure all three points for his team.
With the team soaring high and Bankole potentially making the final Super Eagles squad, Remo Stars are enjoying a momentous period. Fans and teammates have flooded social media with congratulatory messages, hoping to see their goalkeeper represent Nigeria on the international stage while they continue their push for domestic glory.
