Rangers International F. C. won their ninth NPFL title after defeating Ikorodu City F.C. 2-1 on Sunday May 24 in the 2025/2026 season.
The Flying Antelopes are now at par with Enyimba F.C. of Aba, as the most successful clubs in NPFL history, following their victory at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena against home side, Ikorodu City who lost third spot and CAF ticket to play in the Africa Clubs Confederation Cup in next season
The victory capped one of the most dramatic final-day title races in recent NPFL history, with the Flying Antelopes ultimately finishing ahead of Rivers United, who defeated Katsina United 3-0 but fell just short in the championship race.
Both Rangers and Rivers United will represent Nigeria in next season’s CAF Champions League, while Shooting Stars S.C. secured a CAF Confederation Cup spot after finishing third.
