By Dayo Awoniyi

Remo Stars have thrown open the gates of the MKO Abiola International Stadium, Abeokuta, announcing free entry for fans ahead of their CAF Champions League preliminary round showdown with Comoros champions, US Zilmadjou.

The Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) champions confirmed that while regular tickets will cost nothing, access to the VIP section will be set at ₦5,000. The Sky Blue Stars will host the first leg on Sunday, September 21, 2025, before welcoming Zilmadjou again at the same venue for the second leg on Friday, September 26.

The Abeokuta stadium has been designated by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) as a hub for inter-club competitions this season, with fixtures involving both Remo Stars and Kwara United set to be staged there.

Zilmadjou, unable to use their own ground due to CAF’s strict stadium compliance regulations, have again opted for Nigeria as their alternative home. The Comoros outfit followed a similar route last season when they played Rangers International at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo.

Remo Stars’ decision to waive ticket fees is expected to boost attendance and generate a charged atmosphere as Daniel Ogunmodede’s side begin their continental campaign on familiar soil.
