President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Alhaji Ibrahim Musa Gusau, is poised to preside over a momentous occasion on Sunday at the New Zaria Road Stadium in Jos. The event will mark the presentation of the Nigeria Premier Football League winner’s trophy to the deserving champions, Rangers International FC of Enugu.

Gusau, a prominent figure in Nigerian football administration, leads a distinguished list of guests expected to grace the ceremony. This gathering is not just a celebration of Rangers’ eighth Nigeria title but also a testament to their remarkable season, culminating in their recent 2-0 victory over Bendel Insurance at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium.

The match against relegated Gombe United FC adds a layer of bittersweet emotions, contrasting the aspirations of a champion with the woes of a team facing relegation to the Nigeria National League. The Flying Antelopes, with their illustrious history including the 1977 Africa Cup Winners’ Cup triumph, now look forward to representing Nigeria in the prestigious CAF Champions League, marking a significant return to continental competition.

Plans are in place for Rangers to return triumphantly to Enugu, flying the squad and the coveted trophy back home aboard a chartered aircraft. The post-match celebrations are expected to be attended by dignitaries including Plateau State Governor, Barr. Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, highlighting the importance of football in fostering regional pride and unity.

With 67 points already secured, Rangers aim to clinch a total of 70 points by securing a win in their final-day fixture. Barr. Ameobi Ezeaku, the club’s dynamic CEO, has expressed confidence in the team’s ability to achieve this milestone, reinforcing their commitment to excellence on and off the field.

Reflecting on their previous encounter at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium, where Rangers dominated with a 4-1 victory, including impressive performances by top scorers Godwin Obaje, Chidiebere Nwobodo, and Kenechukwu Agu, the team enters the upcoming match with momentum and determination to end their season on a high note.

As the Nigerian football community anticipates this historic event in Jos, it underscores the enduring passion and fervor for the sport across the nation, with Rangers International FC serving as a beacon of success and aspiration for football enthusiasts and aspiring athletes alike.
