With the signing of Yakubu Ayegbeni, a high-profile ambassador now to be integrated into all advertising activities, Interwetten shows its commitment to Nigeria as a major market for the company.

Yakubu will feature in communications throughout Nigeria, including major print and online advertising. In addition, a unique betting feature called “Yakubu Tip” will feature on social me-dia and interwetten.ng each week. Yakubu will also carry out appearances for Interwetten in Nigeria.
The signing marks an important step for Interwetten and shows intent to be in Nigeria for the long-term. Interwetten will also participate in local social projects together with Yakubu.
Yakubu Ayegbeni: ” When choosing my partners, it is really important to me that the chemis- try is right and that was immediately obvious after the first talks. Interwetten has been a reliable and serious partner in sports for decades, in countries all over Europe. It will be a very exciting partnership and homecoming for me too!”
Dominik Beier, Speaker of the Board at Interwetten: “We are very happy that with Yak we can embrace great things. The passion for football is enormous in Nigeria, footballers are idols. It was therefore clear to us that, for the first time in the history of the company, we would be looking to partner with a former Nigerian professional footballer as our official ambassador. In Yakubu we feel we have found that perfect partner and look forward to experiencing the excellence of Nigerian football fans for ourselves. We want to ensure that our customers in Nigeria receive the highest quality product, so we were also looking for someone who had set an example of this during his career. We are just at the beginning of a long journey in Nigeria, now it really starts!”
