Enugu Rangers to unveil new players ahead of new season
The Rangers International Football Club of Enugu says it has begun preparations for the 2026/27 football season.
The Flying Antelopes will feature in both the Confederation of African Football (CAF) Champions League and the Nigerian Premier Football League (NPFL).
Speaking on Tuesday in Enugu, Amobi Ezeaku, Rangers general manager, said the team had signed a few players to prosecute the CAF Champions League and the NPFL.
“We have some new players that have joined us; as usual, we have a way of unveiling our new players in line with our rules. When the time comes, we will announce them and present our new players to the public,” he said.
Mr Ezeaku disclosed that the team had commenced training ahead of the season schedule.
On where Rangers will play due to the ongoing renovation at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium, he said that everything was under control.
“We have to assess the level of work done at the stadium before deciding what to do next. I know that work is progressing fast, but we cannot say for now what will happen until the time comes. We will see how it goes; nobody holds the key to the future; we will do our best in any way it comes,” Mr Ezeaku said.
He thanked Governor Peter Mbah for the ongoing renovation of the stadium to meet international standards, saying, “It is a big boost to Rangers’ quest for more glories.”
The general manager said he was optimistic that the team would do the state proud in both this year’s CAF Champions League and the NPFL, despite any challenges.
“We know what is at stake; we will always fight to represent the badge of the club, no matter the situation. I can assure our fans that there is no cause for alarm,” he said.
Rangers are currently the defending champions of the NPFL, hence they will represent Nigeria alongside Rivers United in the CAF Champions League.
