 "A Proud Moment for Our Team. Yesterday, one of our own Obinna Igboke received the incredible honor of being called up to the national team! This morning, during training, his teammates gave him heartfelt congratulations as he walked through a tunnel of cheers and support."

Igboke, who has been a standout performer for Rangers this season, scoring two goals and providing one assist in 20 NPFL matches, was recently summoned by new Super Eagles manager Finidi George after the withdrawal of star striker Victor Osimhen due to injury.

The youngster took to social media to express his delight at the call-up, describing it as a dream come true as reported by Pulse Sports

This heartwarming gesture from Rangers International, coupled with Igboke's celebratory "siu" moves, highlights the strong bond and unity within the club, as they celebrate one of their own making the step up to the national team.
