Renowned FIFA-licensed agent, Dr Drew Uyi, has commended the organisers of the France-Nigeria Sports Award for honouring him with a special “Recognition for Contribution in Athlete Branding” and Sports Influencer of the Year award.

The award, which celebrates excellence and impact in sports and related industries, recognised Uyi’s groundbreaking work in elevating athlete brands on the global stage.

Uyi, a London-based British-born Nigerian sports branding expert, was the toast of fans at the third edition of the Awards held in Paris with the sprinkling of stars, light, and spectacle that all blended to make the night a truly remarkable and memorable one.
 
Reputed for commanding a huge followership and influence on sports and branding components on social media, where he drops life-changing nuggets and inspirational talks, Uyi has the enviable achievement of being behind the brand activation and endorsement of top Nigerian footballers, including Odion Ighalo, Ahmed Musa, and Shehu Abdulahi, among others.

Uyi was also involved in the contract signing of Moses Ebiye to Rangers, as well as the recent signing of the Ajanaku siblings to Sarayevo last month.
 
Taking to his Instagram page, Uyi shared his gratitude: “Paris was lit. Much appreciated to @nigeria_france_sports for finding me worthy of this prestigious award. The plan has always been to inspire the upcoming in our space & culture.”
