Rangers International Football Club has soared to new heights, claiming the 2023/2024 Nigerian Premier Football League (NPFL) title with a commanding 2-0 victory over Bendel Insurance. This triumph marks their eighth league title, solidifying their legacy as one of Nigeria’s most successful football clubs.

The Flying Antelopes clinched the top spot on the league table, amassing an unbeatable 67 points with one game still to play. Their closest competitors, Remo Stars and Enyimba were defeated by Sunshine Stars and Sporting Lagos, respectively, ensuring Rangers’ path to victory.

Rangers, based in Enugu, boast a rich history as one of Nigeria’s oldest and most prestigious clubs, alongside Bendel Insurance and Kano Pillars. Remarkably, they have never faced relegation from the Nigeria Premier League, highlighting their consistent performance and resilience over the years.

This latest victory is particularly sweet for coach Fidelis Ilechukwu, who previously came close to winning the title with MFM and Plateau United. Under his leadership, Rangers have demonstrated exceptional skill and determination throughout the season.

Fans of the club are overjoyed, with celebrations expected to continue for days. The team’s success not only brings pride to Enugu but also reinforces Rangers International’s status as a powerhouse in Nigerian football.
