Enugu Rangers, one of the prominent clubs in Nigeria’s football league system, has maintained its position in the top flight since the league’s inception in 1970. While 3SC (formerly known as Shooting Stars) dominated the South-West region, Enugu Rangers established their dominance in the South-Eastern part of the country.
In the past, many players aspired to wear the red and white jersey of the Enugu-based Flying Antelopes. Football legends like Christian Chukwu MFR, Emmanuel Okala, and others have proudly represented the team, adding to its rich history.
Similarly, various managers have sought to make their mark on the long list of successful coaches at the club. However, in recent times, Enugu Rangers have struggled to recapture their former glory. Their last league triumph came in 2016, followed by an FA Cup victory in 2018. Unfortunately, the team has experienced a downward trend in the past five seasons, failing to secure any titles.
