This weekend, Lagos will play host to one of football’s biggest superstars and Guinness Global Ambassador; Rio Ferdinand as he arrives Lagos for the Pan-African Finale of the Guinness Night Football campaign.

This will be Ferdinand’s third visit to Nigeria. He first came in 2018 on a two-day visit at the invitation of the then state governor Babatunde Raji Fashola. Ferdinand had the rare chance of meeting the traditional ruler of Lagos, King Rilwan Akiolu who bestowed on him the title of Chief 'Fiwagboye’ which means ‘character maketh wealth.’ He visited again in December 2018 in his role as an ambassador for Guinness.

The Pan-African Finale will also have celebrity artistes from across Africa – Sauti Sol of Kenya, Bebe Cool of Uganda, Salatiel of Cameroun as well as Ajara Njoya of the Cameroun Lioness – who will join our very own Davido on stage in a music and football fest like none ever seen before.

Over the last four weeks; footballers, fans and spectators alike have joined in the vibe to participate in a series of engaging and immersive night-time football events – all powered by Guinness. Football, music, games, experimental meals made with Foreign Extra Stout and body art have been some of the unforgettable highlights of these glow-in-the-dark events.

It’s been a beautiful experience for all involved. And the fun is set to continue at the Pan-African finale, which takes place on January 31st, 2020.
