Ifeanyi Ubah, President of FC Ifeanyi Ubah, has congratulated the management, players and supporters of Rangers International Football Club for winning the 2015/2016 Nigeria Professional Football League title.

Rangers, also known as “ Flying Antelopes “, beat El-kanemi Warriors of Maiduguri 4-0 in the last match of the season to lift the NPFL title for the first time in 32 years.

“Congratulations to Rangers International FC on a thoroughly deserved title, your triumph is a product of hunger and determination, well done,” he said. Ubah also lauded the supporters of his club who stood by them as the Nnewi based side ended the season in the fourth position, two years after it was founded.

Ubah expressed satisfaction with the quality of the league under the League Management Company (LMC) and extended kind words to all the teams which played in the league. “I must not fail to appreciate our fans for believing in this club, they have shown so much commitment and passion and I stand to salute them all.

“The commitment of our fans was so intensified that some of them had to travel from across the country at their own expense to cheer us in Lagos. ” I congratulate MFM for surviving relegation through this match, the boys showed that determination can guarantee result.

“To me , it seems God didn’t want them to go down because our team had chances that could have killed off the match and sent them into relegation even as we join continental elite.

“I also wish to congratulate Rivers United and Wikki Tourist for clinching the continental tickets. It was a keen contest which made FC Ifeanyi Ubah better,” he said.

Ubah said with his team would now focus attention on the Federation cup, where it had already qualified for the final. “We all should now focus on Federation Cup finals, where we qualified against all odds,” he said.
