In support of the
Cashless Nigeria initiative, MasterCard, is set to thrill Nigerian customers to
watch the UEFA Champions League in Lagos, even as some four lucky ones will be
heading to Wembley Stadium, to watch the match live.
The Vice President and Area Business Head, West Africa,
MasterCard, Ms Omokehinde Ojomuyide, confirmed this to ITRealms, said that MasterCard is
running a consumer promotion that would bring all the action and excitement of
the UEFA Champions League right into the city of Lagos in Nigeria.
She

MasterCard cardholders an opportunity to win the four tickets to watch the 2013
UEFA Champions League Final, live in London at the legendary Wembley Stadium.
In
addition, she said, four tickets to watch the Final live at Wembley, there are
an additional 500 double tickets to watch the game at the exclusive UEFA
Champions League Fan viewing event in Lagos.
“To
enter the competition, all a cardholder has to do is use his or her Debit
MasterCard, the more they use their Debit MasterCard card, the more chances
they have of winning,” she said.
Ojomuyide
outlined participating banks in the promotion to include Guaranty Trust Bank,
Zenith Bank Plc, Skye Bank, United Bank of Africa, First Bank, Wema Bank, Stanbic
IBTC Bank, Unity Bank, Ecobank, Keystone bank and Enterprise Bank.
She

contest for Nigerians, is that ’Nigeria is very
important to MasterCard and is the hub for MasterCard in Sub-Sahara Africa,
adding that Nigerian government has taken bold and progressive steps to
encourage Cashless transactions, which aligns with the vision of a ‘World
Beyond Cash’.
“The passion of Nigerians for football
is tremendous and that is why
MasterCard is committed to giving its card
holders an unforgettable football experience this year. This event is one of
the many incentives we have in store for Nigerians in support of the Cashless
Nigeria Drive” she said.
ITRealms recalls that in the previous
years since the promo began, Nigerians were treated to an evening of lots of
fun and excitement in Lagos during the UEFA Champions League Final Fan Viewing
experience hosted by MasterCard.
This year’s event promises to be no different as Nigerians will again be treated to an evening of exciting and priceless football experiences to be enjoyed with the many sport dignitaries that will be in attendance.
