“This journey has been phenomenal,” declared Wasiu Abiola, Head of Media and Sponsorship at Nigerian Breweries.
“From day one, our goal was to reach the final and bring the trophy home. Now, the Eagles have one more hurdle – and we’re confident they’ll jump it and bring AFCON glory back to Nigeria.”
Goldberg, the beer “brewed with the spirit of Nigeria,” understands the team’s fiery passion and has been actively engaged throughout the tournament.
Over 1200 viewing centres across the nation ensure no one misses the magic, with the Farm City Watch Party in Lekki leading the charge, combining football with entertainment and celebrity appearances.
The likes of Mr Macaroni, Iyabo Ojo, and other Omoluabi brand ambassadors are all adding glamour to the breathtaking nights of football and Sunday’s final will not be an exception.
The fans have also been rewarded with mouthwatering prizes in the different challenges; including the Predict and Win and #NaijaGameOn Fantasy League.
Life Continental Beer, known for its celebratory spirit, keeps the energy high with its “#JeeTuruUgo” (Go for Glory) slogan, urging the Eagles to continue their pursuit of victory.
For Zagg Energy Malt Drink, the electrifying brand, pumps up both team and fans with their message: “Just like Zagg gives you the energy to conquer any challenge, the Super Eagles have the power to claim victory.”
This is the first AFCON final for the Super Eagles in over a decade, highlighting that Goldberg, Life & Zagg are more than just brands; they embody the Nigerian spirit, refusing to settle for anything less than the best.
The three brands stand united with the Super Eagles, urging them to etch their names in history and paint the nation green and white with pride by winning the fourth AFCON title for Nigeria
