Football fans in Lagos and its environs are set for a never-before-loaded UEFA Champions League final viewing experience as the Heineken ‘Cheers to All Fans’ campaign peaks in style in the Centre of Excellence tomorrow.
Aside from the all-star line-up of performers already confirmed to light up the Landmark Events Centre, the heart of the city in Ikeja will also be bubbling with activities at the Cubana Hut & Grill on Isaac John Street.
The electrifying trio of Young John, DJ Consequence and Chuey Chu will be holding the fans and loyal consumers of Heineken spell-bound with top-notch performances, hot mixes of music, as well as bants and jokes on a night of explosive football action between history-chasing Manchester City and Inter Milan.
Apart from the unmatchable entertainers, fans will also be sharing the Champions League final night with accomplished football icons, who have excelled and made names for themselves in the round leather game.
Four Nigerian football icons, Onome Ebi, Finidi George, Augustine Eguavoen and Julius Aghaghowa, will all grace the grand finale of the ‘Cheers to All Fans’ campaign.
Onome Ebi is the captain of the Nigerian women’s national team, the Super Falcons, preparing for the World Cup finals next month in Australia and New Zealand.
Ebi’s leadership skills and resilience on the pitch have made her a role model for aspiring female footballers in Nigeria and beyond.
Her presence at the grand finale resonates with the inclusivity of women preached by Heineken and it will also undoubtedly inspire and empower young girls who dream of playing football at the highest level.
George, a former Nigerian international, was a key member of the legendary Ajax team that won the UEFA Champions League in 1995.
His electrifying performances and memorable goals during that campaign etched his name in football history. The presence of the Enyimba coach will undoubtedly be inspiring for the fans.
Eguavoen, a former captain of the Super Eagles, represented the country in numerous international tournaments, including the FIFA World Cup.
Eguavoen’s experience and footballing insights will undoubtedly captivate the audience at the grand finale.
Aghaghowa, another Nigerian football icon, who enjoyed a successful career at both national and international levels, will also be joining the fans tomorrow for the unique viewing experience.
