Remo Stars will return to their home ground in Ikenne for the second stanza of the 2025/2026 Nigeria Premier Football League season, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The Sky Blue Stars played all their home fixtures away from Ikenne during the first stanza of the campaign due to ongoing renovation works at the Remo Stars Stadium. 

However, the club’s chairman, Kunle Soname, has confirmed that the facility is now ready to host competitive matches again.

Speaking on the development, Soname disclosed that the renovation of the pitch has been fully completed and approved following inspection.

“Renovation of the pitch has been completed and has been certified even by the FIFA inspection team. 

"Our first game will be against Ikorodu City when the second stanza of the season resumes,” Soname told a Punch correspondent.

Remo Stars had adopted the MKO Abiola Sports Arena in Abeokuta as their temporary home venue at the start of the season in August 2025 while the upgrade works in Ikenne were being carried out.

Currently placed 16th on the NPFL standings with 22 points from 19 matches, Remo Stars will be hoping that a return to familiar surroundings provides the much-needed boost to improve their fortunes in the second half of the season, starting with the clash against Ikorodu City.
