In a vibrant celebration of African football culture, Mastercard hosted a live screening of the UEFA Champions League Final at The Palms Mall in Lekki, Lagos, turning the iconic showdown between Inter Milan and Paris Saint-Germain into an unforgettable experience for Nigerian fans.

The exclusive event, which formed part of Mastercard’s Africa Football Passion campaign for 2025, brought together business leaders, corporate partners, and stakeholders for an evening that blended sport, networking, and celebration under one roof.

“Football is more than a sport in Nigeria; it’s a language of unity, pride, and passion,” said Dr. Folasade Femi-Lawal, Mastercard’s Country Manager and Area Business Head for West Africa. “With the Africa Football Passion campaign, we’re creating moments that allow fans to feel valued, heard, and connected.”

The screening wasn’t just about watching a football match. It was about shared experiences. Mastercard used the occasion to reinforce its commitment to delivering beyond payments—offering memorable, culturally relevant events that connect people through what they love.

With over three decades as a global sponsor of the UEFA Champions League, Mastercard continues to leverage the global reach of sport to build bridges across communities. And in Lagos, that vision came alive—where the global stage of European football met the unmatched passion of Nigerian fans.
