Football enthusiasts in Lagos and the surrounding areas are eagerly anticipating an
unprecedented UEFA Champions League final viewing event as the Heineken ‘Cheers to All
Fans’ campaign reaches its pinnacle with a spectacular celebration in the Centre of
Excellence tomorrow.
In addition to the already confirmed star-studded lineup of performers who will illuminate the Landmark Events Centre, the heart of the city in Ikeja will come alive with vibrant activities at the Cubana Hut & Grill on Isaac John Street.
The dynamic trio of Young John, DJ Consequence, and Chuey Chu will mesmerize fans and
loyal consumers of Heineken with outstanding performances, exhilarating music mixes, and witty banter on a night filled with explosive football action between history-chasing
Manchester City and Inter Milan.
Beyond the incredible entertainers, fans will also have the privilege of sharing the
Champions League final night with accomplished football icons who have established
themselves as legends in the sport.
The grand finale of the ‘Cheers to All Fans’ campaign will be graced by four Nigerian football icons: Onome Ebi, Finidi George, Augustine Eguavoen, and Julius Aghaghowa.
Onome Ebi, the captain of the Nigerian women’s national team, the Super Falcons, is
currently preparing for the World Cup finals next month in Australia and New Zealand.
Ebi’s leadership skills and unwavering determination on the pitch have made her a role model for aspiring female footballers not only in Nigeria but also across the globe. Her presence at the grand finale aligns perfectly with Heineken’s commitment to inclusivity, and it will undoubtedly inspire and empower young girls who dream of playing football at the highest level.
Finidi George, a former Nigerian international, played a pivotal role in the legendary Ajax
team that clinched the UEFA Champions League title in 1995. His electrifying performances and unforgettable goals during that campaign etched his name in football history.
The presence of George, who currently serves as the coach of Enyimba, will undoubtedly be awe-inspiring for the fans.
Augustine Eguavoen, a former captain of the Super Eagles, represented Nigeria in
numerous international tournaments, including the FIFA World Cup. Eguavoen’s wealth of
experience and profound football insights will undoubtedly captivate the audience at the
grand finale, enriching their understanding of the beautiful game.
Julius Aghaghowa, another Nigerian football icon, enjoyed a successful career at both the
national and international levels. His participation in the unique viewing experience alongside the fans will add to the excitement and nostalgia surrounding the event.
With this star-studded lineup of performers and the esteemed presence of these football
icons, the Heineken ‘Cheers to All Fans’ campaign will reach its zenith, offering football
aficionados an unforgettable and unparalleled viewing experience.
