Remo Stars Football Club have been handsomely rewarded after a historic Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) title triumph that ended a 25-year wait for the Southwest region.
Club owner and philanthropist Hon. Kunle Soname has announced a N25 million cash gift to the players and staff of the Sky Blue Stars for clinching the 2024/25 NPFL title, Remo’s first in history.
The Ikenne-based side secured the title in dominant fashion, amassing 71 points from 38 matches, with 22 wins, 5 draws, and 11 losses.
Crucially, they remained unbeaten at home, while picking up 18 valuable points away, a key factor in their successful campaign.

This feat is more than just silverware. It marks the first time since the 1999/2000 season, when Julius Berger FC were champions, that a team from Southwest Nigeria has lifted the NPFL title.
