The club announced the move on Monday, citing ongoing renovation works at their home stadium in Ikenne.
“Due to ongoing renovations at our stadium in Ikenne, the club can confirm a temporary home ground, the MKO Abiola Sports Arena, Kuto, Abeokuta,” Remo Stars stated. “Come through, make some noise, and let’s turn Abeokuta into a fortress together. A return home is however imminent.”
The Sky Blue Stars begin their title defence this weekend, when they host last season’s runners-up, Rivers United, in Saturday’s opening fixture of the 2024/25 campaign.
Following the opener, Daniel Ogunmodede’s men will travel to Owerri to face newly-promoted Kun-Khalifat, before returning to Abeokuta to host Warri Wolves.
The club may also play their CAF Champions League preliminary round first-leg clash at the Abeokuta venue against Comoros side US Zilimadjou, scheduled between September 19 and 21. The winner will advance to face South African giants Mamelodi Sundowns in the final qualifying round.
Remo Stars clinched their first-ever NPFL title last season with 71 points, finishing seven points clear of Rivers United after narrowly missing out in the two previous campaigns.
