Even as another celebration appears in the offing, Remo Stars have announced a victory parade on Friday.
Their women’s counterparts, Remo Stars Ladies, are already having a good head start in the NWFL Super 6 League and could also win it.
That makes a double for Remo Stars, a feat never achieved by any other club in Nigeria.
With that possibility, the victorious Remo Stars will flag off a parade of stars in Ikenne as the club expresses appreciation to their supporters and the media for the “awesome coverage of our team in the 2024/25 season.
“We have won games, drawn some, and lost others, but your support has been unwavering”, the club remarked in a public statement issued on Tuesday.
“A massive celebration is on the horizon as we can confirm plans for a champions parade through key towns in Remo land after clinching a historic league title – the club’s first top-flight championship.
“The parade will take place on Friday, May 16, 2025, beginning at 9 AM, as thousands of fans will line the route to celebrate this landmark achievement in Nigerian football.”
The victory route is designed to touch the heart of Remo communities, starting from Our Saviour’s Anglican Church in Aiyepe junction, which is just a stone’s throw from the Remo Stars Stadium.
The carnival proceeds towards Sagamu, passing by the Gateway International Stadium, which used to be the home ground of Remo Stars, some years ago.
From there, the victory parade extends to Isale Oko and then by the frontage of the palace of the paramount ruler of Remo, the Akarigbo Palace.
The procession goes through Ita Oba to Ijoku Road to Remo Secondary School, then to the Sagamu-Iperu Road before veering into the Iperu-Ilishan Road passing the connecting road of the Gateway Airport to the Ilishan Roundabout before crossing the Sagamu-Benin Expressway for the homeward journey to Ikenne, the home of champions and legends.
With the procession through the Obafemi Awolowo Avenue, it ends at the Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne.
Fans are strongly encouraged to plan, arrive early, and line the entire route to create an unforgettable atmosphere for the players, technical team, and supporters. The event promises to be a festival of Remo pride, unity, and sporting excellence.
The club announced that safety will be assured as it has engaged the local security agencies, who will be on the ground to maintain a peaceful and celebratory environment.
