Nigerian Breweries through its premium brand, Star Lager beer, is keeping true to its promise to give fans a memorable Africa Cup of Nations experience even if they are far away from Egypt where the biennial football tournament is taking place.
Over the weekend across the Star Fan Parks across the country, it was celebration galore as the Super Eagles produced another shining performance; beating fierce rivals Cameroon 3-2 in their Round of 16 tie to set up another tasty quarter-final clash with South Africa’s Bafana Bafana.
A brace by Odion Ighalo spearheaded a spirited fightback by the Eagles at the Alexandria Stadium on Saturday as coach Gernot Rohr’s men continue their quest to conquer Africa again.
At the Star Fan Park situated inside the National Stadium in Lagos, many fans still remember vividly how the Indomitable Lions denied the Eagles the chance of winning a second Afcon title on home soil in the year 2000.
However, those painful memories were momentarily erased as Nigeria ejected Cup holders Cameroon after winning Saturday’s five-goal thriller.
As expected, the Star Fan Park was full to the brim with loyal consumers and passionate football fans who at the end of 90 minutes were all smiles as the Super Eagles got the job done.
