Music stars, Davido, Perruzi, Reekado Banks excites football fans on Heineken Trophy Tour

 

The four Nigerian music stars and football lovers took turns to thrill football fans and guests at the recent Heineken Trophy Tour. While Davido and Reekado’s performances had football legend, Clarence Seedorf, who accompanied the Champions League trophy to Nigeria, dancing and saying he has returned to his roots, Peruzzi and Lojay held Abuja down for the football lovers. 

Seedorf said; "We have the opportunity to bring this trophy close to those who never imagined or dreamt about getting close to the trophy. It’s beautiful to send that message to dream big, work hard, stay away from drugs and be a person that believes in himself and this is how I came to realise my dream".

Davido, even demonstrated he is the best of two worlds with his performance in the faceoff challenge in which led the likes of Austin Jay Jay Okocha and Daniel Amokachi against Team Heineken captained by the legendary Seedorf in a five-a-side football contest, other music stars like MI and Darey Art Alade were also part of Team Davido and they did exceptionally well.

In both Lagos and Abuja, the fans were rewarded for their passion and knowledge of the game simply by answering simple questions about the Champions League.

Speaking at the event, Emmanuel Oriakhi, Marketing Director Nigerian Breweries PLC, succinctly captured the importance attached to the Heineken Champions League trophy tour saying, “As always Heineken always has something spectacular for Nigerians, and once again we are doing this. 

A lot of people argued that maybe the timing would have been more perfect concerning the disappointment Nigeria suffered a few weeks back. But we are resilient as a people and we are always positive and believe tomorrow will be better. For those of us still disappointed not qualifying for the World Cup we have the UEFA Champions League.”
