The 2024/2025 NPFL defending champions, Remo Stars FC, find themselves in an alarming predicament, languishing in 17th place, a far cry from the glory they enjoyed just last season.
The Sky Blue Stars have struggled domestically and on the international stage. They were eliminated from the 2025/2026 CAF Champions League by South Africa’s Mamelodi Sundowns, and their league form has been equally concerning, with three wins, one draw, and five losses from nine matches.
Such poor results have sparked widespread debate among pundits and fans alike, questioning whether the club has lost its spark in just one season after last year’s celebrated triumph. Speculation surrounding head coach Daniel Ogunmodede’s status intensified after he was absent from recent match benches, though the club has since confirmed he remains in charge.
The pressing question for supporters now is whether Remo Stars can rediscover their winning mentality in time for Sunday’s NPFL clash against El-Kanemi Warriors in Abeokuta.
The team has also struggled to assert dominance at their new home, the MKO Abiola Stadium, failing to make a strong impression in their own backyard. With the Desert Warriors set to visit, the spotlight will be on Remo Stars to respond and prove they are still capable of performing at championship level.
Fans and analysts alike will be watching keenly to see if the once-dominant club can halt their slide and restore pride ahead of the mid-season stretch.
