Lagos, the entertainment capital of Nigeria, will come alive on December 11 for Copa Lagos, the yearly global beach entertainment platform organised by Kinetic Sports.

Holding at the Eko Atlantic City, this year’s show promises to be the most prominent event where guests will experience a unique and exclusive beach lifestyle including a fashion show, food exhibition, cheerleader competition, life music performances featuring some of Nigeria’s best artistes.

Already, the organisers have teamed up with key fashion designers to unveil the 2016 Copa Lagos Fashion Show. The show will go beyond simply showcasing beach friendly designs, to actively proposing a Copa lifestyle. At the event, carefully curated pieces from clothing to accessories will be presented in a fun, upbeat atmosphere with all the hallmarks of an easygoing affair. From make-up to music, the team will curate looks from known designers as well as upcoming talent.

According to the Managing Director of COPA Lagos Samson Adamu, “this is not just about soccer; it’s a family event where we expect our guests to have a fun-filled experience on the beach. We are proud to say this year’s edition of the tournament will be more exciting than the previous ones as we have diversified our scope beyond beach soccer games. We have an excellent line-up of events that will showcase Lagos as a great tourism and beach destination. We are keen to use this event to showcase and support the ever increasing Nigerian music and entertainment Industry,” he said.

Since 2011 when the event started, it has moved from being the first ever international beach soccer event in Nigeria and Sub-Saharan Africa to being one of the most attended sporting events in the region. Leading stars who have performed at previous editions of the event include Dbanj, Naeto C, Shey Shay, Tekno, Falz, Tiwa Savage, and others.
