3SC and YOSBA Rebuild Bridges After Months-Long Rift
Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC) and the Yoruba Sports Broadcasters Association (YOSBA) have officially restored friendly relations following a months-long dispute that had temporarily halted coverage of the Ibadan-based club.
The tension began on October 16, 2025, when 3SC lodged a petition against YOSBA member Obadare Oladosu, widely known as Obasports. The complaint centered on an audio report connected to a fan altercation during Match Day 8 in Kano. In response, YOSBA suspended all reporting on 3SC activities pending further review.
On Thursday, both parties announced that the disagreement has been resolved after a series of constructive discussions. The reconciliation, facilitated by prominent Shooting Stars supporters, was driven by what YOSBA described as the club leadership’s “genuine commitment” to restoring cordial relations.
Key figures in the resolution include 3SC Chairman Hon. Taiwo Lekan Salami, Chief Operating Officer Bunmi Fadayomi, and other members of the club’s management team.
YOSBA confirmed that relations are now fully restored and urged its members across Oyo State and beyond to resume comprehensive and professional coverage of Shooting Stars Sports Club. The association also thanked fans at home and in the diaspora for their patience and continued support during the period of strained relations.
The renewed partnership is expected to strengthen collaboration between the club and sports broadcasters, providing a positive boost as the season progresses.
