NPFL Champions Rangers Set For Grand Trophy Parade In Enugu

Newly crowned Nigeria Premier Football League champions Rangers International will embark on a celebratory trophy parade in Enugu next Tuesday following their historic title-winning campaign.

The Flying Antelopes secured their ninth NPFL crown after edging Ikorodu City 2-1 at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena in Onikan, Lagos, in a dramatic season finale that sealed their place at the summit of Nigerian football once again.

The triumph marked another milestone for head coach Fidelis Ilechukwu, whose side produced a consistent and disciplined campaign to reclaim domestic supremacy and book a place in next season’s CAF Champions League.

Club officials confirmed that the victory parade will begin at noon from the Rangers camp, with players, technical officials and club executives expected to parade the coveted trophy through major parts of Enugu metropolis.

Supporters are anticipated to line the streets in celebration as the champions make their way through the city before concluding the procession at the iconic Okpara Square, a traditional gathering point for major civic and sporting celebrations in the Coal City.

The festivities are expected to attract thousands of football enthusiasts eager to celebrate Rangers’ return to the summit of Nigerian football.

Following the public parade, the team will proceed to the Enugu State Government House, where Governor Peter Ndubuisi Mbah is scheduled to host the players and officials in recognition of their achievement.

Rangers’ latest triumph further strengthens the club’s reputation as one of Nigeria’s most successful football institutions. Their ninth league title adds to a storied legacy that stretches back decades and reinforces their status among the country’s football elite.

Attention will now shift to continental competition, where Rangers will seek to translate domestic success onto the African stage in the CAF Champions League next season.

Club supporters will hope the upcoming parade serves not only as a celebration of past achievements but also as the beginning of another successful era under Ilechukwu’s leadership.
