Enugu Rangers International of Enugu has signed a three year shirt sponsorship with Afrinvest. The Flying Antelope confirmed this development via the club’s official website. The event which hosted top sports dignitaries such as secretary of Enugu State Government, Professor Chidiebere Onyia, Amaju Pinnick, the Club CEO and many others was hosted in Enugu State.
“Rangers International F.C has successfully penned a three-year shirt sponsorship deal with an investment firm, Afrinvest.”
Afrinvest Group Managing Director, Prince Ike Chioke said:
“Today brings to fruition six years of trying to bring professional partnership and support to a football team. Indeed, sometime in 2017, I prepared and signed a partnership agreement with Rangers but unfortunately, that deal did not see the light of the day. Having achieved that today, I am ecstatic that I got the opportunity to do something with the team. You know, technical capacity is not what makes a team. You can have a group of young men who can play very well but the issue of how you take care of them, the medical insurance, their traveling plans, and others, if not well handled will gradually eat into the expected results.
“The Afrinvest coming behind Rangers, what we want to do, we came up with the mantra, ‘Finance meets Football’ to ensure that the footballers have all that they need to concentrate and play football. It is our dream to see every football player in Rangers succeed professionally. This will no doubt form part of not only our Corporate Social Responsibility but also build it around youth empowerment and development” stated the financial investment guru.
Rangers opened their NPFL campaign at home with a 2-0 victory over the Savannah Tigers. They were beatean at Ikenne during their second league game.
