Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has extended a generous gesture to Remo Stars following their historic victory in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL).
The Ikenne-based club secured their first-ever league title with a 1-0 win over Niger Tornadoes on April 27, 2025, marking the end of a 25-year wait for a team from southwestern Nigeria to win the championship.
In recognition of their achievement, Osimhen donated ₦10 million to the club, dividing the amount equally between the players and the technical staff. This donation followed a personal phone call from Osimhen to Remo Stars’ head coach Daniel Ogunmodede, who also serves as an assistant coach for the Super Eagles. Osimhen congratulated the team and praised their “tenacity” throughout the season, expressing admiration for their commitment and hard work.
This victory is a significant milestone for Remo Stars, who clinched the title with three games remaining, accumulating an uncatchable 68 points, 10 ahead of second-placed Rivers United. Their triumph not only brings them national glory but also secures a spot in the upcoming CAF Champions League, a prestigious competition that Nigerian clubs have not won since Enyimba’s success in 2004.
Osimhen’s gesture highlights his continued support for Nigerian football and underscores the importance of celebrating domestic achievements. His involvement in promoting local football continues to inspire both players and fans across the country.
