Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC) is set to host Warri Wolves for their Nigeria Premier Football League matchday 26 at the MKO Abiola Sports Arena in Abeokuta. This decision follows a directive from the league management after 3SC's request to continue using their home ground, Lekan Salami Stadium, was denied. The league authorities raised concerns over the deteriorating condition of the pitch, deeming it unsuitable for television broadcasts, leading to the temporary relocation.

Despite the rejection of their inspection report on the Lekan Salami Stadium, the league provided 3SC with options to relocate to alternative venues, including the Mobolaji Johnson Arena in Lagos or the MKO Abiola Sports Arena in Abeokuta. The Oluyole Warriors opted for Abeokuta as their temporary home. This move comes with logistical challenges and emotional implications for the team and its supporters, including worries about the impact on their performance and attendance.

The temporary base in Abeokuta highlights the ongoing struggles facing Nigerian football clubs concerning infrastructure and management decisions. This situation could affect not only the team's performance but also fan engagement, as relocating can impact the accessibility and convenience for local supporters. As the league continues, it remains to be seen how these changes will influence both Shooting Stars' fortunes and the broader dynamics of the Nigerian Premier Football League.
