Posted : 09 June 2023

Rangers International F.C’ talismanic midfielder, Austin Onyemaechi, who has been in sparkling form since joining the ‘Flying Antelopes’ at the start of the 2022/2023 season is full of optimism going into the final match of the NFF/TINGO Federation Cup 2023 against Bendel Insurance at the Stephen Okechukwu Keshi Stadium, Asaba, on Thursday, June 15.

The mercurial midfielder stated that the trophy would be resting in the Coal City at the end of the encounter.

Onyemaechi said that the determination, motivation, and zeal in the players, would see them overcome the ‘Benin Arsenals’ who have been on a roller-coaster ride since the start of the season that has led them to a 25-match unbeaten run.

"No doubt, Insurance is a great side and has been in fine form since the start of the season but we have our work cut out for us and that is to be crowned champions of the oldest club competition in the country for the 7th time in thirteen attempts.

"Motivations from the management coupled with self-motivation from every player in the team, as well as the determination to write our names in the sands of time shall propel us to get our targets right in the final match," stated the young midfielder.

Onyemaechi picked the game against Plateau United as the most challenging even as the other matches leading to the semi-final were equally tricky.

In a related development, the national chairman of Rangers International Supporters Club, Iloakazie Orji has assured the team that the supporters club would be hitting the Delta state capital of Asaba in huge numbers to drum the side to another win after the 2018 ‘Asaba Miracle’.

Iloakazie gave this assurance after watching the ‘Flying Antelopes’ navigate their way past a very difficult, Plateau United in a semi-final encounter of the 2023 edition of the NFF/TINGO Federation Cup match that happened in Ijebu-Ode.

"As a body, we are mobilizing seriously to storm Asaba to drum, sing, and clap our darling team to our 7th triumph in the oldest club competition in the country.

"With the performance we saw in Ijebu-Ode, I have the strong belief that we shall be champions again in Asaba by God’s grace," he said.
