The Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) is planning a colourful presentation ceremony for newly crowned champions Remo Stars. Daniel Ogunmodede’s side were crowned champions two weeks ago following a hard-earned 1-0 victory over Niger Tornadoes.
The Sky Blue Stars will be awarded the title after their matchday 37 encounter against Ikorodu City at the Remo Stars Stadium, Ikenne on Sunday, May 11. The NPFL has also adjusted the kick-off time of the game from 4 pm to 3 pm.
According to Davidson Owumi, the Chief Operating Officer of the NPFL, the slight adjustment is to ensure the safety of dignitaries and fans that would travel from Lagos to Ikenne for the trophy presentation ceremony. “There obviously would be many fans of both clubs travelling from Lagos for this match,” Owumi explained.
“In addition, we would be having dignitaries arriving through Lagos, and it will be very ideal for them to travel back under bright light of the day for safety reasons.” This adjustment will allow the dignitaries and fans to travel safely after the match.
The trophy presentation ceremony promises to be a grand affair, with many fans and dignitaries in attendance. Remo Stars’ historic win will be celebrated, and the team will be awarded the championship trophy.
The NPFL’s decision to adjust the kick-off time shows their commitment to ensuring the safety and convenience of fans and dignitaries. The league’s efforts to make the championship celebration memorable will likely be appreciated by the fans and the team.
Remo Stars’ match against Ikorodu City will be a significant encounter, not just for the three points but also for the team’s historic championship win. The team will look to end the season on a high note, and the trophy presentation ceremony will be a fitting end to their successful campaign.
As the NPFL prepares to crown Remo Stars as the champions, fans and dignitaries alike are eagerly anticipating the trophy presentation ceremony. The event will be a celebration of Remo Stars’ hard work and dedication to winning the championship. With the adjusted kick-off time, fans can expect a thrilling match followed by a colourful trophy presentation ceremony.
