At last, Remo Stars have emerged champions of Nigeria Premier Football League champions, even with three matches to spare!.
After a hard fought contest, Remo Stars defeated Niger Tornadoes 1-0 to reach an unassailable 10-point lead which bequeaths the Nigerian championship to them.
They have been knocking on the league title door since the 2021-2022 season, when they finished third on the table.
In the following season, they were just a goal short of becoming the Nigerian champions.
Last season, they finished second again. But now, the door has finally opened, and on the birthday on the club owner.
The trailing team, Rivers United can only close the gap with nine points if they win all the remaining three matches and if Remo Stars fail to win theirs.
What a turnaround for a team that had twice been relegated in the past eight years. Perseverance, good planning and good structure have seen them taste the good wine.
What an achievement, as they become the first Nigerian champions to have come from a small town, the previously sleepy village of Ikenne.
