‘I think our chances are clear. We just came back from a pre-season camping and getting ready for the tournament in Lagos. I think, mentally, we are very prepared for the tournament and we are hoping to have a wonderful outing knowing fully well that the tournament is a winner-takes-all and we are hoping to achieve our objectives.’

‘In modern football, names don’t play the game as we can see in the ongoing FIFA World cup in Qatar. A player is as good as his last game and I think that most of the teams in the tournament, Rangers is ahead in terms of preparations. They are going to fall for our sake because we are prepared not just for the tournament but for the coming league season.’
The tournament that has the likes of Enyimba International, Shooting Stars Sports Club and Insurance F.C will be played in a league format with the top two teams playing for the One Hundred Million Naira prize money while the third and fourth placed teams will play in the classification match.
