Norbert Okolie, the Public Relations Officer of Rangers International Football Club of Enugu, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Enugu that the team was led by Sunday Okayi.

NAN reports that Rangers International FC, winners of the 2018 Aiteo Cup competition, will be representing Nigeria in the 2019 CAF Confederation Cup competition whose matches begin later this month.

“The officials started the inspection earlier today (Monday) from the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium in Enugu, before moving on to other necessary facilities.

“After the inspection of the facility, the team went on to inspect some hotels, hospitals, fire service stations, as well as medical centres. The leader of the team did not speak on the outcome of their visit, however. But available information from a very reliable source indicated that the team will likely repeat the visit in a few days’ time for more assessment and a final verdict,’’ the club official said.
