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.”
