Remo Stars lead the NPFL with Samson Olasupo`s signing, aiming for a title after two second-place finishes.

Remo Stars are dominating the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) for the 2024-2025 season, currently leading the table with a six-point advantage over second-placed Shooting Stars SC of Ibadan. As of Match Day 21, Remo Stars have accumulated 42 points from 21 matches, boasting 13 wins, 3 draws, and 5 losses. Their impressive goal tally stands at 28 scored while conceding only 15.

The upcoming match against Sunshine Stars on Match Day 23 is highly anticipated, as it presents an opportunity for Remo Stars to extend their lead to nine points. This local derby is particularly intriguing since Sunshine Stars now play their home games at the Remo Stars International Stadium, creating a unique dynamic between the "landlord" and the "tenant."

In a strategic move to strengthen their squad, Remo Stars have signed international player Samson Olasupo from Serbian side Radnicki Sr. Mirovica. Olasupo, who previously played for Katsina United in the NPFL, is expected to compete for a starting position alongside key players like Sikiru Alimi and Franck Mawuena.

Meanwhile, Abia Warriors are gearing up to face Akwa United on February 2, 2025. Defender Isaac Afolabi has promised fans a strong performance following their recent 3-2 loss to Remo Stars. Abia Warriors have shown resilience at home, remaining unbeaten in 7 of their last 8 matches, while Akwa United struggles with a 12-match winless streak on the road.

As the NPFL season progresses, Remo Stars are in a prime position to secure the title, aiming to improve upon their two consecutive second-place finishes in previous seasons. The league`s competitive landscape remains tight, with several teams closely contesting for the top spots.
