The Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) has brought forward by an hour the Matchday 37 fixture between recently emerged champions, Remo Stars, and Ikorodu City. It was slated for 4 pm on Sunday 11 May 2025 at the Remo Stars Stadium, Ikenne-Remo, Ogun State, but will now commence by 3 pm.
In a statement by NPFL’s Chief Operating Officer, Davidson Owumi, the slight adjustment is to ensure the safety of dignitaries and fans that would travel from Lagos to Ikenne-Remo for the trophy presentation ceremony at the end of that match.
‘There obviously would many fans of both clubs travelling from Lagos for this match. 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’, Owumi explained.
Preparations are at an advanced stage to organise a colourful trophy presentation ceremony. A joint team of the NPFL and Remo Stars management have been putting finishing edges to the plan.
NPFL said that the match and the ceremony will be broadcast live on Startimes and the NPFLLive streaming platform of Propel Sports Africa.
