In what has been a season of milestones, Remo Stars’ perfect home record makes them the only team in the league unbeaten on their own turf. However, their success wasn’t confined to home matches.

The club also demonstrated resilience on the road, securing 18 points from 5 wins, 3 draws, and 9 losses, a vital contribution to their title charge.
Remo Stars’ journey to the 2024/2025 NPFL title has been years in the making. After finishing 3rd in the 2022 season, and narrowly missing out on the top spot in the last two campaigns (finishing 2nd in both 2023 and 2024).
