Remo Stars Lead Nigerian Clubs by Squad Market Value

Football is becoming an increasingly important business in Nigeria, with clubs earning potential income from sponsorships, player transfers, ticket sales, broadcasting, merchandise and brand partnerships. Squad market value offers one way to compare the strength and commercial potential of NPFL teams. It reflects the estimated combined value of players, not the total value of each club. Based on available market-value data for the 2025/26 NPFL season, Remo Stars lead with an estimated squad value of €2.27 million. Rivers United follow at €2.18 million, while Ikorodu City are close behind at €2.16 million. Private investment, stronger academies, digital content and success in continental competitions could help Nigerian clubs become more commercially sustainable instead of relying mainly on government funding.
