The Nigeria Premier Football League has moved the rescheduled Matchday Three fixture between Rangers and Nasarawa United from the Awka City Stadium in Anambra State to the Dan Anyiam Stadium in Owerri, Imo State. The encounter, which remains scheduled for Thursday, September 17, 2026, was originally expected to take place at the Awka City Stadium, where Rangers have been playing their home league matches. Reports indicate that the change was necessitated by the unavailability of the Anambra venue. The late change means both sides will now face off at the Dan Anyiam Stadium as Rangers continue their league campaign away from their traditional home ground. The reigning NPFL champions had adopted the Awka City Stadium as their temporary home venue for league fixtures following the closure of the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium, Enugu, which is undergoing renovation ahead of the 2026 National Sports Festival. The development has forced the Flying Antelopes to make alternative arrangements for their domestic league matches while retaining the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium as their designated venue for their CAF Champions League campaign. Rangers will therefore look to adjust quickly to another change of venue when they face Nasarawa United on Thursday. The fixture is a rescheduled Matchday Three encounter, with both teams expected to battle for valuable points as the league campaign progresses. For Rangers, the match also provides an opportunity to maintain their competitive momentum despite the disruption caused by the unavailability of their usual temporary home venue. Nasarawa United, meanwhile, will hope to take advantage of the neutral setting and secure a positive result against the defending champions. With the venue now confirmed as the Dan Anyiam Stadium, attention will shift to the teams' preparations ahead of Thursday's encounter.
