Rangers International FC, Enugu has revealed that
it will start rolling out its branded bread called “Rangers Bread’’ and other
flour confectionery products in Enugu metropolis. Rangers’ Marketing Manager,
Ignatius Okafor, made the disclosure to newsmen in Enugu.
Okafor said that the move was meant to shoring-up the Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) for the club to prosecute a successful 2016/2017 football season. He noted that the branded bread and other confectioneries from the club would be sold at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium, Enugu during matches as snacks to spectators.
“The
nutritious Rangers bread and other confectioneries will also be sold daily to
the teeming fans of Rangers residing within Enugu metropolis and its outskirt
for a start. “And we will be glad to extend our supplies to other areas or
states where our fans want them to come to.
“I
believe that apart from getting IGR, the initiative will go a long way in
making Rangers a household name and brand in most families, neighbourhoods and
communities within and outside Enugu State,’’ he said. He noted that the club
would not rely solely on the state government but has decided to go into partnerships
and businesses that would generate funds.
Okafor,
however, noted that the club needed more funds as it would be going for
continental derbies as well as defending its 2015/2016 Nigerian Professional
Football League (NPFL) trophy and Federation Cup in the current season. Rangers
will be visiting JS Saoura of Algeria on Feb. 10 for its first leg of the CAF
Champions League. It will host the Algerian club on Feb. 17 in Enugu for the
second leg.
The
Cathedral -Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium, Enugu – has a seating capacity of 22,000
spectators. The stadium is expected to be filled to the brim during Rangers’
continental ties as it is normally seen during important national football
derbies.
