Sunshine Stars and MFM are regional rivals in the NPFL with the south-west derby often keenly-contested.

While the Olukoya Boys are yet to announce any new signings, there has been a mass exodus at the club with erstwhile captain Austin Okpara already at Enyimba and former coach Fidelis Ilechukwu on the verge of joining Heartland.

On their part, Sunshine Stars did not record an impressive outing in the 2018/19 NPFL season, but they are keen for a good show in the upcoming season hence the decision to beef up their ranks with some quality players.
