The kickoff time for the Matchday 37 fixture between newly crowned champions Remo Stars and Ikorodu City has been adjusted slightly. Originally set for 4:00 PM, the match will now begin at 3:00 PM on Sunday, May 11, 2025.
According to Davidson Owumi, Chief Operating Officer of the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL), the change is aimed at ensuring the safety of dignitaries and fans expected to travel from Lagos to Ikenne for the trophy presentation ceremony after the match.

“We anticipate a large number of fans and dignitaries traveling from Lagos. For safety reasons, especially considering return travel, it’s best they make the journey back during daylight,” Owumi stated.
Plans are well underway to stage a grand and memorable trophy presentation. A collaborative team from the NPFL and Remo Stars management is finalizing the event arrangements.
Fans can watch the match and the trophy presentation live on Startimes and via the NPFLLive streaming platform powered by Propel Sports Africa.
