2025 President Federation Cup: Rangers eye another historic S/Final Cup

Posted : 20 May 2025

Lagos will become the battleground on Wednesday, May 21, 2025, as six-time President Federation Cup champions Rangers International FC of Enugu lock horns with Kwara United FC of Ilorin for a coveted spot in the 2025 final.


The iconic Mobolaji Johnson Arena on Victoria Island will host this highly anticipated semi-final clash.


The 'Flying Antelopes,' guided by coach Fidelis Ilechukwu, arrive in Lagos with momentum after a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Plateau United in the quarter-finals held earlier this month in Abuja.


Now, their sights are firmly set on overcoming the 'Afonja Warriors,' who themselves booked their semi-final ticket by dispatching Akwa United.


Rangers' in-form defender Effimi Nsi, a standout performer since joining the Enugu side at the beginning of the season, exudes confidence ahead of the crucial encounter.


"We are ready to face any club in the Federation Cup," Nsi declared. "We don't fear any team we play against but respect all.


"I assure our supporters that we have all it takes to overcome Kwara United on Wednesday in Lagos and qualify for the competition's final match.


"I trust my teammates, and I know how hungry they are to win the cup. We are in Lagos for business, not a joke."


Rangers last tasted Federation Cup glory in the memorable 'Asaba Miracle' of 2018, where they staged an incredible comeback from three goals down to defeat Kano Pillars on penalties.


Their rich history in the competition also includes triumphs in 1974, 1975, 1976, 1981, and 1983.


As the Wednesday showdown approaches, the football fraternity in Nigeria awaits with bated breath to see how Rangers can add another chapter to their Federation Cup legacy and secure their passage to the final.
