Rangers, Plateau United Set for NPFL Super 6 Preseason Final

NPFL champions Rangers International will face hosts Plateau United in the final of the 2026 NPFL Super 6 Preseason Tournament at the New Jos Stadium on Sunday, August 23.

The much-anticipated final will kick off at 4:00 p.m., with both teams looking to finish their preparations for the 2026/27 Nigeria Premier Football League season on a winning note.

Rangers, who were crowned NPFL champions at the end of the 2025/26 season, will be keen to show that their title-winning form is still intact.

The Enugu-based club secured the league title on the final day of last season after beating Ikorodu City 2-1 in Lagos.

Plateau United, meanwhile, will have the backing of their home supporters at the New Jos Stadium. The Jos-based side made a strong start to the tournament by defeating Rivers United 1-0 in their opening match, with Jibril Ibrahim scoring the winning goal.

The final brings together two teams with strong reasons to lift the trophy. Rangers will want to build confidence ahead of the new season, while Plateau United will hope to make the most of home advantage and their positive preseason form.

The Super 6 has given the participating clubs valuable competitive preparation. It has allowed coaches to assess their squads, test different tactics and give new players time to settle before the new NPFL campaign begins.

The tournament is also important for Nigerian clubs preparing to represent the country in CAF inter-club competitions.

The 2026 edition features six clubs and is being held in Jos with the support of the Plateau State Government. The participating teams are Rangers International, Rivers United, El-Kanemi Warriors, Katsina United, Plateau United and Mighty Jets.

With the preseason title now within reach, Sunday’s final promises to be an exciting test for both teams before they turn their attention to the demands of the 2026/27 NPFL season.
