Rangers International Selects Awka City Stadium for NPFL Season
Rangers International has officially designated Awka City Stadium as their home ground for the 2026/27 EuroMatch-NPFL season. This marks the second time the nine-time league champions will play at this venue, having previously done so during the 2022/23 abridged campaign.
The decision was confirmed by Rangers Chief Executive Officer, Amobi Ezeaku, on September 18, who stated, “We will play in Awka.” The club will utilize Awka City Stadium while renovation work continues at their usual home, Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium in Enugu. Rangers began their season away from Enugu, achieving a 1-1 draw against Katsina United at the MKO Abiola Stadium in Abeokuta.
They later hosted Nasarawa United at the Dan Anyiam Stadium in Owerri, where a Matchday 3 fixture was suspended due to heavy rainfall. The match resumed, resulting in a 2-1 comeback victory for Rangers, with goals from Chidozie Iwundu and Daniel Itodo.
Rangers will continue their campaign in Owerri before starting at Awka City Stadium against Ranchers Bees of Kaduna in Matchday 5.
