Bet9ja backs Remo Stars for historic CAF Champions League run
The upcoming campaign will be the club’s first test against Africa’s football elite, and the renewed partnership with Bet9ja is expected to provide additional support for that challenge.
Nigeria.- Bet9ja has extended its sponsorship of Remo Stars Football Club, a move that comes as the Nigeria Premier Football League champions prepare for their first appearance in the CAF Champions League. The agreement was confirmed at the Ikenne Township Stadium, where the club is based.
Remo Stars secured their place in continental competition after winning the NPFL title for the first time last season, a historic achievement that also made them the first team from Ogun State to lift the trophy. The upcoming campaign will be the club’s first test against Africa’s football elite, and the renewed partnership with Bet9ja is expected to provide additional support for that challenge.
Speaking on behalf of the betting company, Omene Osuya, Senior Marketing Manager, noted that the deal reflects a broader commitment to the growth of Nigerian football. He said: “Our commitment is simple: we want to see Nigerian football excel on the biggest stage. Partnering with Remo Stars is about giving Nigerian talent the backing to compete, win and inspire the next generation.”
The club’s Chief Executive Officer, Adedoyin Ogungbefun, welcomed the continued backing, stating that it offers more than financial assistance. He said: “Bet9ja’s investment goes beyond sponsorship. It strengthens our ambition to not just represent Nigeria, but to challenge for honours in Africa and build a sustainable model for football development.”
Bet9ja has in recent months broadened its presence in the sports industry, including announcing boxing prospect Moses Itauma as a brand ambassador. The renewal with Remo Stars continues that strategy and underlines the company’s commitment to sports development in Nigeria.
With the start of the CAF Champions League approaching, Remo Stars will look to combine the momentum of their league success with the resources and visibility brought by Bet9ja’s support. The partnership positions the club to compete strongly while also highlighting the growing role of private sector investment in Nigerian football.
