Nigerian football fans enjoyed the magic of the Champions League final firsthand thanks to Heineken’s unforgettable Viewing Experience across the country over the weekend.
Heineken transformed viewing centres into vibrant celebrations as Real Madrid secured their historic 15th title with a 2-0 victory over Borussia Dortmund at Wembley Stadium.
“Heineken is all about celebrating the beautiful game with true fans,” said Maria Shadeko, Portfolio Manager of Premium Drinks at Nigerian Breweries Plc. “We wanted to recreate the electric atmosphere of Wembley right here in Nigeria, and judging by the incredible energy at our Watch Parties, we achieved that!”
From Lagos to Port Harcourt, Abuja to Enugu, the night was alive with the spirit of football. Adekunle Gold treated fans at the Jewel Aeida on Lekki, Lagos, to captivating performances by music stars like Mia, Dotun, Crowd Kontroller, Big N, and the electrifying finale.
While the Muri Okunola Park in Victoria Island pulsed with the energy of the female DJ duo, Wanni x Handi, the passionate crowd at the Lagos Terraform mirrored the energy at the Green House on Oba Adeyinka Oyinkan Ave, Ikoyi, and Stalad Gardens in Abule Egba, where fans revelled in the action on giant screens while enjoying Heineken’s refreshing brews all laced with unbeatable entertainment.
The electrifying atmosphere wasn’t limited to Lagos. Port Harcourt witnessed a phenomenal performance by music sensation Oxlade at Oak Park and Gardens.
Abuja residents also enjoyed an unforgettable night at Papiee’s Metropolis on Ahmadu Bello Way, where Alternate Sound kept the excitement levels soaring with their dynamic performance.
Fans in luxurious comfort at the Transcorp Hilton on Aguyi Ironsi Street also revelled in the night’s festivities.
The magic of Heineken’s Watch Parties extended beyond major cities. Fans in Ibadan, Benin City, Enugu, and Owerri all shared in the unforgettable experience, uniting in their support for their favourite teams and celebrating Real Madrid’s monumental victory.
Heineken’s Watch Parties successfully recreated the Wembley atmosphere, proving that the beautiful game can unite and ignite joy across Nigeria.
