Egba Patriots Football Club has set its sights on emulating the achievements of Remo Stars as a flagship football team in Nigeria.
The club’s president, Ayodeji Sodrudeen Abolore, revealed that the long-term vision of the club is firmly rooted in youth development across Egbaland and Ogun State.
Speaking to our correspondent in Abeokuta, Abolore explained that his passion for nurturing young talent inspired the creation of Egba Patriots FC.
He said the initiative is designed to provide opportunities for local youths like Remo Stars did in Ikenne while carrying the identity of the Egba people.
“We are trying to emulate what Remo Stars are doing, so we decided to do something for ourselves in Egbaland too, something that will carry the name and send a direct message to every Egba descendant,” he said.
The club already boasts essential infrastructure, including a branded team bus, a players’ accommodation facility at its headquarters in Mawuko, Abeokuta, and land earmarked for the construction of an ultra-modern football pitch and a sports arena.
Abolore confirmed that further plans are in motion to develop a comprehensive sports centre to cater not only to male football but also female football, basketball, table tennis, and other disciplines.
