General Manager of Rangers International, Amobi Ezeaku

General Manager of Rangers International, Amobi Ezeaku, believes the Nigeria Premier Football League champions cannot afford to be complacent in the preliminary round of the 2026/27 CAF Champions League, as they begin their campaign against Benin Republic’s SOBEMAP in Abeokuta on Sunday (today), PUNCH Sports Extra reports.

Rangers have adopted the MKO Abiola Sports Arena as their temporary home ground this season, following renovation works at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium in Enugu.

After playing a 1-1 draw in their opening game of the 2026/27 NPFL season last weekend, they have turned their attention to the continental engagement, with their visitors also taking time to study them during their opening NPFL game against Katsina United.

Ahead of the first leg of the first preliminary round, Ezeaku is banking on the support of fans across Nigeria while stressing that the team cannot afford to fail.
