Rangers International's General Manager, Amobi Ezeaku, has emphasized the importance of a convincing win for Nigeria's champions as they prepare for their opening match in the 2026/27 CAF Champions League. The match will take place against Benin Republic's SOBEMAP on Sunday, with Rangers playing at the MKO Abiola Sports Arena, which has served as their temporary home ground this season.
The team has already experienced a 1-1 draw in their opening NPFL game, and now they are focusing on the continental competition. Ezeaku is confident in the support of fans across Nigeria, and makes it clear that the team must not afford any complacency. He urges the team to "grind out the result" and advance in the tournament, with Osimhen's treatment concluding to ensure the team is in top form.
Rangers are aiming to make an impact with their continental history in mind, as their previous best from the African Cup Winners' Cup in 1977 remains unmatched. Should they progress, they will face the winners of a tie between ASN Nigelec and MC Alger in the second preliminary round.
