The Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) holders, Rangers, have adopted the Awka City Stadium as their new temporary home ground, as reported by Daily Post Nigeria. This move is temporary, as their traditional home ground, Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium in Enugu, is currently undergoing renovation works ahead of the 2026 National Sports Festival.
Rangers made their league debut at this new venue by hosting Katsina United, which ended in a 1-1 draw. Despite playing their continental matches in Abeokuta, Rangers secured a spot in the second preliminary round of the CAF Champions League after a dramatic 5-4 penalty shootout victory over Sobemap FC from Benin Republic.
