Enugu Rangers head coach, Fidelis Ilechukwu has commended Kenneth Igboke following the defender's selection to join the Super Eagles squad for next month's 2026 FIFA World cup qualifier.

Igboke, 23, was handed his first National team invite by Finidi George as a replacement for the injured Victor Osimhen.

Reacting to the player's call up, Fidelis Ilechukwu stated that he has confidence in Igboke's capabilities to play for the team.

"This is a reward for hard work".

"I have no doubt in your ability from day one".

"I strongly believe that you will make me and the Rangers family proud in the Nigeria Senior National team".

"I wish you all the best Sabi player".

The left back who has netted three goals for Enugu Rangers this season, is slated to join the Super Eagles camp over the weekend to prepare for the upcoming fixtures.

Meanwhile, South Africa's Bafana Bafana is set to unveil their squad for the encounter this Thursday, adding anticipation to the forthcoming qualifiers.
