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 Berger’s title run in 2000 and the first team from Southwest Nigeria to lift the trophy in 25 years.
