Soccer fans, Rangers FC disappointed as Enyimba FC shunned preseason friendly

By Daily Sports Nigeria on September 15, 2023

Soccer enthusiasts were frustrated and disappointed on Thursday as Enyimba International Football Club, Aba failed to turn up for a preseason friendly against Rangers International Football Club of Enugu.
The match was scheduled to hold at Awka Township Stadium, the state capital, but absence of Enyimba FC (the People's Elephant) with no formal verbal or written communication left everyone including Rangers FC stranded.
Rangers waited for them up to 5pm all to no avail and had to travel late back to Enugu probably feeling disappointed.
 Mr Mgbemena Christian, a fan described the Enyimba's action as uncalled for, wondering if it was out of fear due to their recent bad performance.
"Enyimba players snubbed Awka fans as they fail to honor their preseason friendly match against Rangers. We were pissed as we waited up to 5pm without seeing them. 
"They ought to have communicated Rangers over their action... Enyimba have been in a series of poor outings since they were booted out of the continental match this season," he said. 
Speaking, the Rangers FC  General Manager, Mr Amobi Ezeaku described the Enyimba FC action as unprofessional.
"It is unprofessional because we agreed on this match and Enyimba FC did not show up. We've been here since morning trying to know what the problem is and they continuously say they are on the way. 
"Look at the time it is 5 o'clock, there is no way we can play, we need to now go back.
"Whatever logistics problem Enyimba FC is having, we had expected that they would have been open minded and transparent. We are football family. Well will take it as one of those things. 
"We have seen their Sporting Director, Ifeanyi Ekwueme and he expressed the sorry state of his mind with respect to this disappointment. The fans want to see this kind of game and they came all the way to watch and Enyimba FC did not show up," he added.
Although our attempts to obtain the reasons behind the refusal of Enyimba FC to turn up for the preseason friendly, it was learnt that they would likely play with Awka based team, Peace FC, on Friday (Today).
