Sadiq Umar And Bello El-Rufai Acquire Historic Ranchers Bees FC, Vow To Restore Glory Days
Super Eagles striker Sadiq Umar and Bello El-Rufai, son of former Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai and current House of Representatives member for Kaduna North, have taken ownership of Ranchers Bees FC, one of Kaduna’s most historic football clubs.
Founded in the 1970s, Ranchers Bees FC was once a dominant force in northern Nigerian football, reaching the final of the 1988 CAF Cup Winners’ Cup and winning the 1989 WAFU Cup. However, in recent years, the club has languished in the Nigerian National League, struggling with financial and administrative setbacks.
Umar said their goal is to revive the club’s former glory. “Growing up, I watched Rancher Bees of Kaduna, a club that produced countless players. It’s a thing of pride and joy for us to be the bona fide owners of the club,” he said.
The Super Eagles forward added, “I’m elated by the feedback from Rancher Bees supporters and the people of Kaduna. We will bring back the old memories of the club and return the fans to the stadium.”
