In the aftermath of Rangers International FC's goalless draw against El-Kanemi Warriors in their 2024/2025 NPFL opener, team captain Chinemerem Ugwueze has expressed confidence in the team's ability to regain their scoring form. The draw, which occurred in front of notable figures including NFF President Alhaji Ibrahim Gusau and NPFL Chairman Hon. Gbenga Elegbeleye, was seen as a disappointing start to the season for the Flying Antelopes.
Ugwueze acknowledged that the result was below expectations, reflecting on the match as "a bad day in the office" for the squad. Despite the setback, he emphasized that the team’s performance did not reflect their true capabilities. He remained optimistic, stating that the plans for the match did not go as hoped but reaffirmed his belief in the team's potential to improve and succeed.

However, Ugwueze assured fans that this issue is temporary and expressed confidence that the team will soon find their scoring rhythm. He emphasized that the squad's dedication and skills will lead to better performances and ultimately make the fans proud.
