Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen gifts Remo Stars N10m cash for NPFL title win
Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen has rewarded newly crowned Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) champions Remo Stars with a N10 million cash gift for their remarkable 2024/25 title win. Osimhen, currently on loan at Galatasaray, reportedly gifted the team a total of N10m, N5m to the players, and N5m to the technical crew after placing a personal video call to the team. Head coach Daniel Ogunmodede confirmed the donation to Punch Sports Extra. The generous gesture follows Remo Stars historic feat of clinching their first-ever NPFL title with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Niger Tornadoes on Sunday. Remo Stars sealed their maiden NPFL crown with three matches to spare, reaching an unassailable 68 points, 10 points ahead of second-placed Rivers United. Olamilekan Adedayo netted the decisive goal in the 84th minute of their title-clinching match in Ikenne. Remo Stars became the first privately-owned club to win the NPFL since Julius Bergers title run in 2000 and the first team from Southwest Nigeria to lift the trophy in 25 years.
