Enugu Rangers’ captain, Ugwueze Chinemerem has expressed confidence that his team will advance to the CAF Champions League second preliminary round.

The Flying Antelopes are set to face U.S. de Zilimadjou from the Comoros Islands in the return leg of their preliminary round fixture.

Speaking to the club’s media team ahead of the encounter, Ugwueze emphasized the team’s focus and preparation.

“Since the end of the first leg, which we won by God’s special grace, we have intensified our preparations. I believe this will see us through the second leg,” the young midfielder stated.

“While we are pleased with the first-leg victory, we are not underestimating our opponents. Our focus is on playing a good game and securing a strong win for our fans and supporters,” he added.

Rangers will be looking to build on their first-leg advantage as they aim to progress in the prestigious continental competition.
