Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) champions, Remo Stars, have confirmed the MKO Abiola Sports Arena, Abeokuta, as their temporary home ground ahead of the 2025/26 season, which kicks off on Friday, August 22, 2025.
The decision follows ongoing renovation works at their home stadium in Ikenne, the club announced on Monday.

Consequently, the Sky Blue Stars will open their title defence at the Kuto-based arena against last season’s runners-up, Rivers United, this weekend.
“Due to ongoing renovations at our stadium in Ikenne, the club can confirm a temporary home ground, the MKO Abiola Sports Arena, Kuto, Abeokuta,” a statement from the club read in part.
“Come through, make some noise, and let’s turn Abeokuta into a fortress together. A return home is however imminent.”
Following their opening-day fixture, Remo Stars will travel to Owerri to face newly-promoted side Kun-Khalifat, before returning to Abeokuta for their clash against Warri Wolves.
Remo Stars clinched their historic first-ever NPFL title last season, finishing with 71 points—seven ahead of Rivers United—after narrowly missing out in the previous two campaigns.
