Bet9ja, a leading sports betting and digital entertainment company in Nigeria, has renewed its partnership with Remo Stars Football Club, positioning itself as the headline sponsor of the Sky Blue Stars as they prepare for their inaugural CAF Champions League campaign.

The renewal agreement was announced at Remo Stars’ Ikenne Township Stadium, signalling continued corporate support for the club following their maiden Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) title last season. The championship marked the first time an Ogun State-based club had claimed the NPFL crown.

Bet9ja’s renewed sponsorship coincides with Remo Stars’ plans to translate their domestic success onto the continental stage, aiming to advance Nigeria’s representation in Africa’s premier club competition. The company’s involvement follows its recent engagement with Nigerian boxing prospect Moses Itauma, reflecting a broader strategy to support emerging talent across Nigerian sports.

Speaking on the partnership, Bet9ja’s Senior Marketing Manager, Omene Osuya, said: “Our commitment is simple, we want to see Nigerian football excel again on the biggest stage. Partnering with Remo Stars is about giving Nigerian talent the backing to compete, win, and inspire the next generation.”

Remo Stars CEO, Adedoyin Ogungbefun, described the sponsorship as more than a financial endorsement. “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,” he said.

The partnership renewal comes as Remo Stars prepare to enter uncharted territory in continental football, seeking to break a two-decade absence of Nigerian clubs in CAF Champions League contention. Club officials emphasised that the sponsorship will support player preparation, logistics, and infrastructure enhancements necessary for competing at the CAF level.

With corporate backing from Bet9ja, Remo Stars aim to combine their domestic momentum with continental ambitions, highlighting a growing trend of private-sector involvement in Nigerian football development.
