Apart from the club bracing up to finish the job that they began earlier in the week in Rabat, the CEO, Adedoyin Ogungbefun told Sports Village Square that the Remo Stars Stadium complex is receiving attention to enable spectators have an easy navigation on match days.

Already, new signposts are installed in strategic locations of the complex that harbours an hotel, housing facilities for a football academy, a big restaurant, and four standard training pitches.

Ogungbefun also spoke of the media tribune which has been upgraded and fixed with separate entrance. So also is the press conference room which has recently been completed.

Ahead of the match, Ogungbefun pointed out that the players are far from being complacent after the good show in North Africa which has been the international baptism for not most of the players, but also the club.
