Recall that Nigeria advanced to the quarter-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations with a comfortable win over Cameroon. Ademola Lookman was the man to seal the spot in the last eight, as he netted early in the match and added a second late in the contest.
According to Sanwo-Olu, the viewing centres promise more than just the thrill of the game, with match day cash prizes and captivating attractions that aim to make the ongoing tournament an unforgettable experience for every football enthusiast.
Lagosians also are urged to share their memorable moments by posting pictures and videos from the designated viewing centres, allowing others to join in the celebration.
The football loving governor directed residents to follow @lagosissagoal on Instagram to stay updated with the latest information and highlights.
The LASG ‘LagosIssAGoal’ viewing centres are set to keep the football fever alive until the end of the tournament, providing a communal space for football fans to come together, cheer for their favorite teams, and create lasting memories.
This aligns with the governor’s commitment to promoting sports and community engagement in Lagos.
