Remo Stars earned their first-ever entry into the CAF Champions League with a spirited 1-0 victory over Bendel Insurance in their last NPFL23 Super Six match at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena in Lagos.
The Ogun State Chapter of Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN) has expressed their admiration for the administration and coaching staff of Remo Stars Football Club, Ikenne-Remo, for the team's historic qualification for the coveted CAF Champions League, just one year after participating in the CAF Confederation cup.
SWAN in a congratulatory message jointly signed by the Chairman, Hakeem Akintunde and Michael-Azeez Ogunsiji, claimed that it wasn't by accident that Remo Stars Football Club qualified for the Champions League two years after rejoining the premier Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL), but rather as a result of the owner's quick investment, their team's passion, and their hard work.
Recall that Remo Stars earned their first-ever entry into the CAF Champions League with a spirited 1-0 victory over Bendel Insurance in their last NPFL23 Super Six match at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena in Lagos.
SWAN said that winning the second spot in the just completed Super Six playoff with 9 points, the same as the league champions Enyimba, was the fruit of a monetary investment motivated by a zeal to reshape football administration in Nigeria and reestablish Ogun state's global prominence.
