Rangers International Football Club, commonly known as Enugu Rangers, is a Nigerian professional association football club founded in 1970. Based in Enugu, the team plays its home games at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium.
Rangers are one of the oldest clubs in Nigeria and are the only club never to have been relegated from the Nigeria Premier League. Established after the Nigerian Civil War, they quickly became successful, winning multiple league and FA Cup titles in the 1970s and 1980s.
Internationally, Rangers reached the finals of the African Cup of Champions Clubs in 1975 and won the African Cup Winners’ Cup in 1977. More recently, they secured league titles in 2016 and 2024. The club is nicknamed the Flying Antelopes and maintains a passionate 10 million fan base.
Enugu Rangers won a nationally organized tournament in 1970 which allowed them to qualify for the 1971 African Cup of Champions Clubs. Rangers lost in the quarterfinal 0–3 on aggregate to ASEC Mimosas.
In the same year, they almost achieved domestic success in the Nigerian FA Cup cup as well, but lost the final 2–1 to Shooting Stars F.C.
After winning the 1974 double, including a 2–0 cup final win over Mighty Jets, the Enugu players were given cars and promotions at the Nigerian Sports Council.
Rangers lost the 1975 African Cup of Champions Clubs to Guinea's Hafia FC, earning left-back Silvanus Okpala the nickname "Hafia" for his poor play in the final. Enugu had overturned a 3–1 defeat in Egypt in the semifinal to qualify for the final. Founding Ranger Ernest Ufele retired after the defeat.
