Remo Stars Ladies retain Ogun FA Cup with 4-0 win over Castmog FA

For the second consecutive year, Remo Stars Ladies have been crowned Ogun State FA Cup champions following a commanding 4-0 victory over Castmog FA at the Dipo Dina Stadium, Ijebu Ode.

The reigning champions asserted their dominance early, scoring all four goals in the first half to secure back to back titles. Macarthy Adebisi opened the scoring in the 15th minute with a well placed free kick. Just three minutes later, Arubo Oluwaseyi doubled the lead after receiving a precise assist from Subomi Ogundele.

Blessed Isigbo extended the advantage shortly after the half-hour mark, making it 3-0, before Kafayat Bashiru completed the first half rout in the 38th minute by heading home from a Macarthy Adebisi corner.

With this victory, Remo Stars Ladies remain unbeaten in all competitions this season, extending their impressive streak to seven games, including six in the Nigeria Women Football League NWFL Premiership.

Both Remo Stars Ladies and Castmog FA will represent Ogun State in the women’s category of the 2025 President Federation Cup. Last season, Remo Stars Ladies made their debut in the tournament and reached the semi-finals before falling short against Naija Ratels. This year, they will aim to go a step further in their quest for national success.

Editorial

Remo Stars Ladies’ back to back triumph in the Ogun FA Cup is a testament to their growing dominance in women’s football. Their ability to dismantle Castmog FA with such efficiency highlights the team’s attacking prowess, tactical discipline, and winning mentality. Scoring four goals in the first half alone underlines their killer instinct, a quality that will serve them well as they progress to the national stage.

Their unbeaten run this season further cements their status as one of the most in-form teams in Nigerian women’s football. The depth in their squad, with multiple goal scorers in this final, is another sign of a well drilled unit capable of competing at higher levels. If they maintain this level of performance, they could become serious contenders for the NWFL Premiership title and make a deeper run in the President Federation Cup.

For Castmog FA, this result may be disappointing, but reaching the final is an achievement in itself. Their qualification for the President Federation Cup offers them another opportunity to prove themselves on a bigger stage. They will need to regroup, learn from this experience, and prepare for tougher challenges ahead.

The broader picture here is the continued rise of women’s football in Nigeria. With teams like Remo Stars Ladies setting high standards, competition is increasing, and the game is growing. More investment, better facilities, and structured development pathways will only enhance this progress.

As the President Federation Cup approaches, all eyes will be on whether Remo Stars Ladies can carry this momentum forward and establish themselves as a force in Nigerian women’s football.
