Rangers was birthed in the year 1970 after the end of the Nigerian civil war by the then governor of the East Central State of Nigeria and was named by late Justice Ikpeazu, who was one of the founders of the football club.

In the same year of establishing the club, it was a big surprise that they got to the finals. The 14 foundation members of Rangers are; Godwin Achebe, (Captain), Cyril Okosieme, John Nwosu, Emmanuel Ojirika, Sam Nwachukwu, Chukwuma Igweonwu, Dominic Nwobodo, Sam Okoh, Emeka Okonkwo, Patrick Isiah, Raymond Pharr, Shedrack Ajaere, Ernest Ufele and Luke Okpala. It has been on record that Rangers International Football Club has won various national trophies and been attributed as the best and most successful football clubs in Nigeria prior to the creation of other successful ones like Aba Warriors known as “Enyimba Football Club”, the Shooting Stars FC Ibadan and others. Their success has been extended to other national trophies and championship such as the challenge cup which they won 5 times between 1974-83.

From the year 1974-84 they participated in various national tournaments such as the Nigerian National League which they won 6 times within the time frame. They have also made a name in Africa, as they emerged among the finals in 1975, in the Africa Cup of Championships.

Throughout the subsequent years, Rangers International FC has won the Nigeria Professional Football League 7 times and has records of outstanding performances in other leagues and tournaments. It is also the second-most successful team in the Nigeria Premier League, and since its establishment qualifies among the best soccer teams in the world. One of the biggest pride of Rangers FC is the fact that it has never in its history been relegated to the second division of the Nigeria Premier League.

Some of the players to score a hat trick are Emeka Nwanna ‘Ayaya’, John Chibuike and Chisom Egbuchulam. We wish
