Brown Ideye Backs Remo Stars To Lift NPFL Title This Season

Why Brown Ideye Believes in Remo Stars’ Title Hopes

Let’s talk about the man who knows a thing or two about scoring goals and winning championships—Brown Ideye. The former Super Eagles striker is throwing his weight behind Remo Stars, saying they’re the team to beat in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) this season. According to Ideye, it’s not just a hunch; it’s based on the way Remo Stars have been playing and their impressive lead in the league standings.

Here’s the deal: Remo Stars are sitting pretty at the top of the league table with an impressive 57 points. That’s a solid eight-point gap over their closest rivals, Rivers United. If you’re keeping score at home, that’s a pretty comfortable margin with 11 matches still left to play. But as we all know, football can be unpredictable, and anything can happen. Still, Ideye believes that Remo Stars have a golden opportunity to finally clinch the title after finishing as runners-up in the last two seasons.

Challenges Ahead for the Sky Blue Stars

Even with their current form and position, the road to the championship isn’t going to be a walk in the park for Remo Stars. The Ikenne-based team has some tough matches coming up, and they’ll need to stay focused if they want to hold onto their lead. But as Ideye pointed out, the championship is theirs to lose at this point. It’s all about maintaining consistency and not letting the pressure get to them.

Ideye, who currently plies his trade as a striker for Enyimba, knows a thing or two about what it takes to win. He’s not just rooting for Remo Stars; he’s also hoping that Enyimba can secure a spot in continental competitions by the end of the season. In his own words, “For Enyimba, securing a continental spot is achievable. If we win all our remaining home games and get good results away, I believe we can return to the continent.”

What Brown Ideye Said About the Race for the Title

“In my opinion, Remo Stars have the best chance of winning the league, but football is unpredictable. The title is theirs to lose,” Ideye told BSN Sports in an exclusive interview. He went on to say, “For Enyimba, securing a continental spot is achievable. If we win all our remaining home games and get good results away, I believe we can return to the continent.” It’s clear that Ideye is not just a fan of Remo Stars; he’s also rooting for his own team to make some noise in the league.

Congratulations From the Chairman of the National Sports Commission

While the focus is on the NPFL, there’s also some good news coming from the Super Eagles. The Chairman of the National Sports Commission (NSC), Shehu Dikko, has extended his congratulations to the team for their impressive victory in the 2026 World Cup Qualifier in Rwanda. According to Naija News, it was Victor Osimhen’s brace that secured the win for the Eagles, giving them a comfortable victory in their qualifying match.

In a statement released on Saturday, Dikko praised the team’s performance, saying it was a result of preparation meeting competence and capability. He also took a moment to commend the coach, Eric Chelle, for his brilliant tactics and leadership in Rwanda. Dikko didn’t forget to thank President Bola Tinubu for his unwavering support in reviving sports in the country. He encouraged the Eagles to keep the momentum going and put up an impressive performance against Zimbabwe in their upcoming match in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.
