Fidelis Ilechukwu of Rangers International has set his target of re-building the team ahead of the 2024/2025 football season, BSNSports.com.ng reports. 

The 2024 NPFL title winning coach said that he will utilise the 042 Coal City Int’L Cup to kick start his re-building process in the team. 

The pre-season tournament that would have teams from Sierra Leone, Cameroon, Benin Republic, Brazil and top teams from the NPFL, do soccer battle for the ultimate prize of fifty million naira with each participant earning an appearance fee of five million naira in every match played.

According to him, "It is a good thing to have such quality teams in a preseason tournament and it will to a very large extent, help us monitor the players that we have registered for both the continent and domestic challenges. 

"Like I have been saying, we are re-building as the structure we had earlier set up has been shaken a bit and we have some new talents that need to be blooded into our playing philosophy. I believe that we shall get good results from the preseason games."

The Flying Antelopes will begin their continental challenge which starts in the middle of August 2024 with a preliminary round fixture against Comoros Islands side, U.S. Zilimadjou.
