‘We have all it takes to be crowned NPFL champions!

Rangers International F.C’s new kid on the block and defensive midfielder, Ejike Ugochukwu says he and his tammates have all it takes to be crowned NPFL champions for the 2023/24 season.

The Flying Antelopes are top of the table with 48 points from 27 matches, one more than second placed Lobi Stars. The Enugu based side also have a huge +13 goals difference.

Ugochukwu who has stood out in the team’s smooth run in the 2023/2024 NPFL season is full of praise for the coaches, management, and teammates for the journey thus far and stated that discipline, determination and hard work which currently permeate the team will help them end the season in an appreciable position.

The former F.C One Rocket captain stated that the squad was in perfect shape to end the season amongst the top finishers due largely to the motivation that they enjoy from management and the tactical instructions from the coaching crew ably led by Coach Fidelis Ilechukwu.

‘I thank God for making my coming to Rangers a success and I also thank my teammates for making it possible for me to adapt to the playing philosophy of the club. It has been a success all the way.’

The player who has appeared in all matches played this season by the club, starting and finishing in all 27 matches but three, further said, ‘Playing top-
flight football with a club like Rangers is the best thing to have happened to my career.

‘I owe a lot to the management, coaches, and players I met in the team for allowing me to exhibit my God-given talent even though, it has not been an easy task.’

‘I believe that we have all it takes to be crowned champions but we are taking the matches one at a time as there are no two matches that are the same. We
respect every team in the premiership but we don’t fear any. I believe that with the discipline, determination, and hard work from everybody in our team, I
am very optimistic that we will end the season well.’
