Shooting Stars open the 2027 NPFL season with a home victory

Shooting Stars opened the 2027 Nigeria Professional Football League season with a home victory. The result gives the Ibadan club a winning start, although no score was provided for the match.

The club’s current NPFL table entry lists Shooting Stars in ninth place. It also shows zero points from zero matches, with their goals record standing at 0-0. That table position and record remain the available season figures despite the opening home success.

The victory continues a largely positive run in Shooting Stars’ recent results. Before the new league campaign, they lost 1-0 away to Niger Tornadoes, then defeated Barau FC 1-0 at home.

They followed that win with a 3-2 success against Nasarawa United and then won 2-1 away at El Kanemi Warriors. Their most recent result before the new-season home victory was a goalless draw with Kwara United.

That sequence gives Shooting Stars three wins, one draw and one defeat across the five listed matches. The results include victories both at home and on the road, while the draw against Kwara United was their only scoreless game in that run.

Shooting Stars’ next listed fixture is against CS Sfaxien in the CAF Confederation Cup on September 5, 2026. The continental assignment will follow the club’s home start to the NPFL season.
