Remo Stars sign Malian duo Coulibaly, Goïta ahead of new season


Nigerian Premier Football League (NPFL) champions, Remo Stars, have bolstered their squad with the signing of Malian duo Chaka Coulibaly and Adama Goïta on two-year contracts.

The Ikenne-based club, fresh from winning their first-ever NPFL title last season, have been busy in the transfer market as they prepare to defend their crown and challenge in the CAF Champions League.

Coulibaly, already involved in preseason training, is expected to provide depth and versatility, while Goïta arrives with a strong reputation after scoring 23 league goals in the past two seasons for Djoliba AC in the Malian Ligue 1.

The double capture follows the recent signing of Jerome Bonou, a defensive midfielder from Association Omnisports Les Requins de l’Atlantique, signaling the Sky Blue Stars’ intent to build a squad capable of excelling domestically and continentally.

Remo Stars begin their NPFL title defense on August 22 against Rivers United and will also represent Nigeria in the 2025/26 CAF Champions League, starting with a preliminary round tie against US Zilimadjou of Comoros.

With renovations ongoing at their Ikenne home ground, the club announced that all home fixtures will temporarily be staged at the MKO Abiola Stadium, Abeokuta.
