Following the conclusion of the 2025/26 Nigeria Premier Soccer League season, Remo Stars will now compete within the Nigeria Nationwide League for subsequent season.
This final result is heartbreaking for everybody related to the membership — our supporters, gamers, workers, administration and your complete Remo Stars household who’ve invested their feelings, power and perception into this journey.
We perceive the frustration and frustration this season has introduced. The expectations hooked up to this membership had been excessive, and rightly so. Sadly, we didn’t ship the efficiency or consistency required to take care of our place within the division. We take full accountability for that failure.
Remo Stars stays a membership constructed on imaginative and prescient, ambition, laborious work and the unwavering spirit of our neighborhood.
To our followers who stuffed the stands, supported the workforce on-line, and stood by us even throughout our darkest moments — thanks. Your loyalty means all the things, and we recognise that we owe you way more than what this season produced.
Our focus now turns towards rebuilding with goal and willpower. Essential selections can be made, and each effort can be directed in the direction of returning the membership the place it belongs.
