The platform producers of the football simulation video game decided to feature on the African continent with its latest soccer game for the first time in the history of the computer game show.

This development will see gamers having the opportunity to feature players of the oriental sides for their various online games in PS 2020.
Reacting to this development, General Manager of Rangers International F.C, Prince Davidson Owumi said that the decision of the online games owners to have the club on its platform goes a long way to depict the level which Rangers have attained and would help sell the image of the club further round the globe.
On the recent slide in form of the team, Owumi said that such was expected of every great football club or footballing nation but re-assured the team’ numerous supporters that Rangers have ‘turned the bend’ and would soonest be among the top echelon of the NPFL while also believing that a place in the last eight of Total/CAF Confederation cup 2019/2020 season is still open for the ‘Flying Antelopes’.
“Our drop in form can happen to every good team around the world. Thankfully, we are almost past the bridge and would soon be at the top bracket of the league table. Injuries to key players really affected our push at the start of the season which led to our losing some matches that would have been won. Let our fans around the globe be assured of a top finish this season,” stated the former NPL boss.
He further said, “I understand the feelings of our supporters but I urge them to calm down and look with positive attitude towards the turn for the better for our dear Rangers.”
