Go Bring Angola Down! Goldberg, Life & Zagg Tell Super Eagles -

The Super Eagles’ electrifying win over Cameroon has offered renewed hope for a fourth AFCON title in Cote d’Ivoire.

Official partners, Goldberg, Life Beer and Zagg Energy Malt drink remain solidly behind the Nigerian lead sports brand, urging them to conquer Angola in Friday’s quarter-final contest and secure a coveted semi-final spot.

A semi-final slot puts the Super Eagles on familiar terrain and the brink of another podium finish as they have done 15 times in their previous 19 outings.

While reiterating  maximum support for the Super Eagles, the Nigerian Breweries brands are simultaneously keeping fans engaged and rewarding their passionate support.

“Yes, we want the Super Eagles to go all out on Friday against Angola, that is why we are galvanizing all the support for the team,” said Head of Marketing Communications, Nigerian Breweries Plc, Sandra Amachree.

Amachree noted the excitement around the AFCON tournament is increasing as the Super Eagles are progressing, hence the trio of Goldberg, Life Beer, and Zagg are matching the tempo with increased activations.

Goldberg, the iconic Nigerian lager, isn’t just raising the volume across selected viewing centres; they’re also raising the stakes with their interactive Fantasy League Challenge (FLC).

Fans can predict match outcomes and score points, with top predictors walking away with amazing prizes.

The “OmoluabiGameOn” campaign goes further, encouraging predictions and rewarding loyal supporters with the hashtag #OmoluabiGameOn.

For Life Continental, the official beer of the Super Eagles, it is bringing the taste of victory to fans across the country.
