The competition between Remo Stars and Ikorodu City at the Ikenne Zone of the 2025 NPFL Youth League is a close contest; however, Coach Ajobolade Olumide emphasizes that his Remo squad is not focused on accumulating points.
Following the second round of matches, both Remo Stars and Ikorodu City are level on points, yet the Ikenne team holds a superior goal difference after a decisive 4-1 victory over Shooting Stars in their opening game of Match Day 2. Ikorodu City closely trails them, having secured a 2-0 win against Sunshine Stars.
Bendel Insurance currently occupies the third position with three points, following their 2-1 victory over Kwara United.
Olumide conveyed to NPFL Media yesterday that his team is primarily thrilled to be part of the competition and is not fixated on their ranking in the league.
”Our primary focus is not on our position in the standings; rather, we aim to compete to the best of our abilities. This competition serves as an additional platform to evaluate our progress, which is the essence of our team,” he stated confidently.

Regarding their close competition with Ikorodu City, Olumide asserted that he does not view the Lagos team as a threat but rather embraces the challenge.
”We welcome the opportunity to test our setup; since we do not have the chance to face Ikorodu City directly, we are eager to seize this opportunity.”
The teams will take a rest day today and will return tomorrow for Match Day 3.
