NPFL: Remo Stars set for homecoming with Ikorodu City

Remo Stars will finally return to their traditional home ground in Ikenne as the second stanza of the 2025/2026 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season gets underway.

The Sky Blue Stars were forced to play all their home fixtures away from Ikenne during the first half of the campaign due to extensive renovation works at the Remo Stars Stadium.

During that period, the club adopted the MKO Abiola Sports Arena in Abeokuta as a temporary venue, beginning from the start of the season in August 2025, while upgrade works were ongoing at their base.

However, club chairman, Kunle Soname, has confirmed that the stadium is now fully ready to host competitive matches following the successful completion of renovation works on the pitch.

Speaking on the development, Soname disclosed that the newly upgraded pitch has passed all necessary inspections, including approval from FIFA officials.

 “Renovation of the pitch has been completed and has been certified even by the FIFA inspection team. Our first game will be against Ikorodu City when the second stanza of the season resumes,” he said.

Currently sitting 16th on the NPFL table with 22 points from 19 matches, Remo Stars will be hoping that a return to familiar surroundings provides a vital boost as they seek to improve their league position, starting with the clash against Ikorodu City.
