Remo Stars Depart for Morocco in Style Ahead of Crucial CAF Champions League Clash

Date:

Remo Stars have departed for Casablanca, Morocco, ahead of their pivotal CAF Champions League preliminary round second-leg encounter against AS FAR. The team, led by head coach Daniel Ogunmodede, was spotted looking sharp and unified in their custom traditional attire, adorned in bright colors, as they embarked on their journey.

The Sky Blue Stars are set to face AS FAR at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat on Sunday. The first leg, played in Ikenne, ended in a 1-1 draw, leaving the tie delicately poised. A draw in Rabat would be enough for Remo Stars to advance to the next round, a significant achievement considering they were knocked out by the same opponents at this stage last season.

A squad of 20 players has been selected for this important fixture, including key figures like goalkeeper Kayode Bankole, defenders Junior Nduka and Ifeanyi Anaemena, and midfielders Jide Fatokun and Tochukwu Michael. The team will be looking to leverage their experience from last season’s encounter and the confidence gained from their recent performance to secure a positive result.

Travelling Squad:

– Goalkeepers: Kayode Bankole, Obassa Adebiyi
– Defenders: Junior Nduka, Ifeanyi Anaemena, Akinyele Ahmed, Ismaila Souley
– Midfielders: Jide Fatokun, Thankgod Ikeagwu, Sodiq Ismail, Ogunribide Seun, Ibrahim Abubakar, Aolalekan Adebayo, Tochukwu Michael, Haruna Hadi
– Forwards: Alimi Sikiru, Kwame Mawuena, Shuaibu Ibrahim, Dela Akorli, Faisal Sani

Remo Stars are determined to overturn last year’s disappointment and continue their journey in the prestigious continental competition. The Ikenne-based club is hoping for strong support from their fans as they aim to make history by reaching the first round.
