Remo Stars are set to face US Zilimadjou of Comoros in the preliminary round of the 2025-26 CAF Champions League, with the first leg scheduled to take place at the MKO Abiola Sports Arena in Abeokuta on Sunday. The Nigerian club’s technical adviser, Daniel Ogunmodede, has acknowledged the pressure to improve their continental record, having previously failed to progress beyond the first round.

According to Ogunmodede, the team is aware of the need to enhance their performance on the continent. In a pre-match interview, he stated, “I always tell people that my name is pressure, Daniel Ogunmodede pressure. I know there is pressure to progress, but we will fight hard.” This sentiment reflects the team’s determination to overcome their past disappointments and make a meaningful impact in the competition.

Remo Stars’ recent history in the CAF Champions League has been marked by early exits, including their elimination by Ghanaian side Medeama last season. As they prepare to face US Zilimadjou, the team will be looking to draw on their experiences and push forward with renewed resolve. The upcoming match against the Comorian team will be a crucial test of their abilities and a chance to redeem themselves on the continental stage.

With the 2025-26 CAF Champions League preliminary round underway, Remo Stars will be focusing on securing a positive result in the first leg to bolster their chances of progressing to the next round. As the team takes on US Zilimadjou, they will be relying on their technical prowess, strategic planning, and mental toughness to overcome the challenges ahead. The outcome of this match will be closely watched by fans and observers alike, as Remo Stars strive to create a new narrative in their African club football campaign.
