Remo Stars will meet US Zilimadjou of Comoros in the preliminary round of the 2025‑26 CAF Champions League, with the first leg set for Sunday at the MKO Abiola Sports Arena in Abeokuta. The Nigerian club’s technical adviser, Daniel Ogunmodede, acknowledges the pressure to improve a continental record that has never gone beyond the first round. He told reporters, “I always tell people that my name is pressure, Daniel Ogunmodede pressure. I know there is pressure to progress, but we will fight hard,” underscoring the team’s determination to overcome past disappointments.
The Stars’ recent CAF Champions League history has been marked by early exits, including last season’s elimination by Ghanaian side Medeama. As they prepare for the Comorian opponents, the squad hopes to draw on those experiences and approach the tie with renewed resolve. The upcoming match is a crucial test of their abilities and an opportunity to redeem themselves on the continental stage.
With the preliminary round underway, Remo Stars will focus on securing a positive result in the first leg to boost their chances of advancing. Success will depend on their technical prowess, strategic planning and mental toughness. Fans and observers will be watching closely as the team strives to create a new narrative in its African club football campaign.
