The official beer of the Super Eagles and partner of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), 33” Export Lager has named legendary Austin Jay Jay Okocha as its brand Ambassador to the 2021 AFCON
Senior Brand Manager, Aishat Anaekwe explained that the choice of Okocha resonates perfectly going by the antecedence of the former Super Eagles captain as far as the AFCON is concerned.
She said that apart from being a part of the all-conquering Tunisia 1994 squad, Okocha also led the Eagles to a respectable outing a decade ago and has been a motivation to many Nigerian youths that want to showcase their respective talents be it entertainment or football.
It was at the Tunisia 2004 edition that Okocha scored the historic 1000th goal of the tournament in the Super Eagles’ win against South Africa and went on to top the group.
The “33” Export believed Nigeria can replicate the same feat in Garoua, adding the charm and aura commanded by Okocha will galvanize even more support especially from the youth for the three-time African Champions.
Since coming on board as partner to the NFF and official beer for the Super Eagles, 33” Export Lager has been able to increase the followership of the national team tremendously comparable to the supporter ship of top European clubs
The brand is one of the longest corporate sponsorships with the NFF dating back to the last World Cup finals in Russia and 33” Export Lager has continued to demonstrate its love not just to the Super Eagles but also to the fans who are their loyal consumers.
Innovations like the ‘Man of the Match’ award and activations that guarantee fans a swell time has made many eagerly looking forward to every match-day lately.
The Super Eagles will be starting their quest for a fourth AFCON title tomorrow against Egypt before going to face Guinea Bissau and Sudan in the other Group D games.
