In a bid to further enhance the viewing experiences of Nigerians, especially the nation’s soccer fans, in the ongoing African Cup of Nations (AfCON) football tournament, MTN Nigeria, the official communications partner of the NFF, has announced its partnerships with 140 viewing centres across the country.
According to the telco company, the partnerships would enable it provide the opportunity for viewers to win exciting prizes such as phones, pressing irons, T-shirts, and other prizes, with some lucky ones getting the chance to win a trip to Cameroon to watch the Nigerian team live.
Over the past years, MTN Nigeria had made several investments towards the growth of Nigerian football.
For instance, in its bid to identify and coach the young football talents in Nigeria, the telco and top Premier League club, Arsenal Football Club, held a three-day coaching clinic for 128 young players and 30 coaches in October 2018 at the legacy pitch of the National Stadium, Surulere, Lagos.
In 2021, it also announced a partnership with LaLiga, the men’s top professional football division of the Spanish football league system, to provide MTN customers with the league’s exclusive news, updates, videos and games offering football fans a unique and highly entertaining experience.
