Rangers U-16 Squad Ready to Shine at Bayern Munich Tournament
The future stars of Enugu Rangers are poised to make a significant impact at the prestigious Bayern Munich U-16 Tournament, scheduled for Friday, June 20, 2025 at the Intel Playing Pitch, Oshodi, Lagos.
Team handler, Coach Felix Nwosu has expressed strong confidence in his team’s readiness and determination.
The squad, brimming with talent, is eager to represent their badge on the international stage.
“Everyone is ready and willing to give their best to represent our badge,” declared Coach Felix Nwosu, highlighting the team’s high spirits ahead of the competition.
The tournament, structured in a league format, features two groups of six teams each. Each team is scheduled to play five matches on day 1, with group winners and runner-up progressing into the semi-final stages in what promises to be a grueling yet exhilarating day of football.
The top team in Group A will face the second-placed team in Group B in the knockout stages, setting the stage for thrilling encounters.
Rangers will be looking to their prolific captain, Onah Chinedu, to lead their charge. The dynamic winger has been in sensational form, netting over 26 goals since September. His goal-scoring prowess will be crucial to the team’s success.
Another player to keep a close eye on is Iwuchukwu Kingsley Chukwuemeka, who has just returned from Finland. His experience and skill are expected to add another dimension to the Rangers’ attack.
The team has been particularly impressed with the tournament’s organization. “A very well-organized tournament,” Coach Nwosu noted, adding, “all teams and coaches were kitted by Bayern; everything is properly organized.” This level of professionalism has undoubtedly contributed to a positive atmosphere for the young athletes.
Even before the main matches begin, Rangers’ talent is already turning heads.
Their goalkeeper was named “keeper of the day” during a small shooting and keepers’ training session. His impressive performance has already led to two other teams expressing interest in him, a testament to his burgeoning potential.
With a blend of proven goal-scorers, returning talent, and a standout goalkeeper, the Rangers U-16 team is well-prepared to take on the challenge and make their mark at the Bayern Munich Tournament 2025.

The Senior Pastor of Freedom Life International Christian Center, Richard Tochukwu, has declared that gospel music possesses the spiritual capacity to transform Nigeria, describing it as a divine instrument capable of restoring hope and unity in the nation.
Speaking during an interaction with journalists, the cleric said music inspired by God’s Word can positively influence Nigeria’s spiritual and socio-political landscape by promoting peace, comfort and moral revival.
According to him, gospel music goes beyond entertainment and should be seen as a ministry tool for national healing.

“Gospel music is not just sound; it carries power. When songs are inspired by Scripture, they can heal hearts, restore faith and redirect a nation toward righteousness,” he said.
Pastor Tochukwu made the remarks while discussing his latest worship single, “I Want To Pray,” a spiritually reflective song produced by Audio5.
He explained that the track was created to encourage believers to remain steadfast in prayer and maintain consistent fellowship with God.
The song draws inspiration from Luke 18:1, which urges believers to pray always and not lose heart.
A spiritual son of Paul Enenche, Pastor Tochukwu revealed that most of his songs are birthed from deep study of Scripture.
“Sometimes while studying or preaching from a passage, a melody begins to flow. The lyrics are drawn directly from the Word. Our songs are intentional; they carry the same message we preach,” he explained.
Reflecting on his journey, he recounted beginning as a drummer who also sang before discovering what he described as a divine instruction to minister through music.
“I realised that you don’t minister only through preaching. God made me understand that songs are another channel through which His Word can reach people. Every release is backed by Scripture,” he added.
Pastor Tochukwu currently serves in Lagos, combining pastoral leadership with music ministry.
The audio and video for “I Want To Pray” are now available on major digital streaming platforms.
