Nigeria’s Super
Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi, was
on Thursday night, unveiled as a brand ambassador to Pepsi. Keshi alongside his assistant coach, Daniel Amokachi and defender, Elderson
Echiejile were unveiled amidst cheers from the audience at an event tagged
the Pepsi Samba Party. The inclusion
of these new stars to Pepsi’s existing line-up of football ambassadors that has
Victor Moses and Osaze Odemwingie creates one of the
most multi-talented lists ever.
In appreciation, Keshi thanked Pepsi for being a major
supporter of the game of soccer and sports in Nigeria.
He said, “We may be
very few on the pitch of play but we realise that our team actually comprises
of 160 million Nigerian fans that always support and cheer us on. Pepsi is a
great brand and I am happy and honoured to be associated with it.”
Head of Marketing, Seven
Up Bottling Company Plc, Mr. Norden
Thurston, said, “Here in Nigeria, the
passion for football knows no bounds. With Pepsi’s fantastic new line up this
passion is set to rise higher than ever before as fans and consumers from
across the country identify with Pepsi football stars they admire.”
Guests were treated to a football pitch carpet rather than
the usual blue or red carpet by Vina (BBA & FUSE) after which they engaged
in signing the farewell banner. Stylish TV host and actress – Eku Edewor alongside TV/Radio host Joe Hanson took charge of anchoring the entire night
thrilling all in attendance.
From music to movies, the venue was star studded celebs came
out to support the newly signed PEPSI ambassadors and equally cheer the
national team to victory! Performances were top notch from Traffic to Tiwa savage, Lynxxx, Wizkid and Praiz.
It was a night of football, a night of fun and a night filled with PEPSI
moments.
