The newly crowned 2024/2025 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) champions, Remo Stars, are set to take their celebrations to Maiduguri in a jubilant mood for a dead rubber Match Day 36 clash against El-Kanemi Warriors.
The hosts, Desert Warriors, after an average start to the 2024/2025 NPFL season, now find themselves locked in a relegation battle following a series of winless matches.
However, the Sky Blue Stars have nothing left to prove, having already secured the league title. Still, they will want to make a statement, particularly to affirm their credentials as the most formidable team of the season.
The assistant coach of El-Kanemi Warriors, Mohammed Mohammed, has described his team’s next NPFL fixture as a “must-win match” in order to keep the North East side from slipping into relegation.
Mohammed also lamented how things suddenly turned around for his team, which had enjoyed a good portion of the season.

In the last five meetings, Remo Stars have claimed four wins over El-Kanemi Warriors, who have only managed one victory.
