Life Lager expects Super Eagles to triumph over Cameroon in the AFCON Round of 16
Premium beer brand, Life Lager Beer, has extolled the performances and qualification of the Super Eagles at the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Côte d’Ivoire. The official sponsor of the national team, after a 1-0 victory over Guinea-Bissau secured the team’s progress to the next round on Monday, reiterates its belief and support for Nigeria’s unstoppable journey in the tournament.
Football fans’ nerves were uncontrollable as Nigeria sought to seal its hopes of qualification into the knockout phase against The Djurtus at the Felix Houphouet-Boigny stadium, but the Super Eagles held their own to emerge triumphant. A 36th-minute own goal from Guinea-Bissau’s Opa Sangante shot the country into the second qualifying spot behind Equatorial Guinea in Group A with 7 points.
Life Lager Beer, which has stood shoulder to shoulder with over 100 million passionate Nigerian football fans in dedicated support of the Super Eagles, has hailed the team for a show of grit and resilience in ensuring their continued stay in the tournament. The premium beer brand, which has coined a clarion call for the team’s participation in the tournament titled ‘Jee Turu Ugo (Go For Glory)’, recognises and applauds the exceptional efforts and skills displayed so far on the field.
Senior Brand Manager, Chima Dim, says “Life Lager Beer is immensely proud to witness the Super Eagles’ outstanding performances and successful qualification in the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations. As the team progresses in the tournament, we remain committed to fostering unity and celebration among football enthusiasts nationwide. We believe in the team’s unstoppable spirit, and we want to amplify the support from all corners of Nigeria as they gear up for future encounters.”
Nigeria will face the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon in the round of 16 next Saturday. When the sun sets and the stadium lights illuminate the Felix Houphouet-Boigny stadium in anticipation for the match, football fans will be buzzing in public arenas, vibrant local pubs, or cosy living rooms across the country. Life Lager Beer promises to continue sharing in the excitement and fostering the spirit of camaraderie that defines football moments in Nigeria.
Ololuwa Babalola, Portfolio Manager, Life Lager Beer, adds “As the nation collectively holds its breath in anticipation of the Super Eagles’ next crucial match, we are excited to encourage every football lover in the country to raise their glasses high, toasting not just to a game but to the shared pride, passion, and unity that make football a source of joy and celebration. Football fans in the country will need to raise their voices in unison and contribute to the collective energy necessary to inspire the players.”
Nigerian Breweries Plc has stood as a dedicated partner and champion of the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) for over five decades. In 2022, in a significant move to bolster its backing for the nation’s football scene, the brewing company’s premium Life Lager Beer, affectionately called the ‘Mmanya Oganiru (beer of progress)’ in South East Nigeria, proudly earned the title of the ‘official beer of the Super Eagles’.
