Kunle Soname addresses the controversy over Remo Stars and Beyond Limits' NPFL participation, defending their promotion and ownership structure amid criticism. He compares their setup to European leagues and cites existing precedents in Nigerian football, asserting compliance with regulations despite concerns of conflict of interest.
Kunle Soname, CEO of Remo Stars and Beyond Limits, has responded to criticisms over his teams' participation in the NPFL after Beyond Limits secured promotion. Soname defended the decision, citing precedents where teams with shared ownership compete in Nigerian football leagues.
He emphasized that both teams adhered to existing regulations, pointing out parallels with European leagues where feeder teams participate alongside senior teams in tournaments like the FA Cup. Soname underscored that if this setup is permissible in cup competitions, it should also be acceptable in league formats.
Critics have raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest, given Soname's ownership of both clubs, although reports suggesting Beyond Limits is owned by his wife remain unconfirmed.
