Heineken’s Lush Lagos Party Wraps Up UEFA Champions League Tour

The three-day UEFA Champions League Tour which began on Tuesday April 16, culminated in a lush Lagos Party at Cubana, Lagos Thursday night.

The night was a roll-call of celebrities in honour of Carles Puyol, the Spanish football icon and former captain of the Barcelona Football Club who has been in Nigeria for the coveted UEFA Champions League Tour presented by Heineken®.

With celebrities like Stephanie Coker, Folu Storms and Uti Nwachukwu, the stars turned up the heat of the football fever in the mega-city of Lagos, Nigeria’s entertainment capital.

Expectedly, the guests had a thirst-quenching fill of Heineken®, ice-cold and crisp after a long tour-filled day with the coveted trophy beneath the hot weather Lagos skyline.

With the Heineken Limited Edition bottles tucked away in several of the luxury bars around town, the night of football frenzy is the climax to the events of the past three days which included the State House visits in Lagos and Uyo, consumer events, after parties, tour of the Lagos Brewery of the master brewers Nigerian Breweries Plc and of course an unmissable football match that featured Puyol and Nigeria’s former attacking midfielder, Austin ‘Jay Jay’ Okocha as captains of each team of stars.

In his remarks, the Managing Director, Nigerian Breweries Plc, Jordi Borrut Bel reiterated the support of Heineken® for one of the world’s most important soccer event.

He said, “Heineken® has been a big part of football for the last 25 years, particularly by sponsoring the UEFA Champions League.
