“It’s exciting to see Lagos as part of this historic tour. Guinness has long been a part of our story — from being the first destination for its brewery outside the UK, to its decades of social impact. It also feels great to have the real Premier League Trophy in Lagos. It reinforces something positive about our enthusiasm, and it is gratifying to know that this is specially brought to us by none other than a 75-year-old Guinness Nigeria. As Lagosians, we’re excited to identify with Guinness as a socially responsible organization,” Sanwo-Olu said.
Girish Sharma, Managing Director and CEO of Guinness Nigeria, reflected on the success of the tour: “This has been an incredible journey — not just for Guinness, but for every fan who showed up. Football is more than a game. It’s community. It’s passion. And through this tour, we’ve put fans at the centre of the action. Nigeria remains one of the world’s most passionate football nations, and we’re proud to have delivered this moment.”
Fans also expressed heartfelt appreciation for the once-in-a-lifetime experience. Malik Ibitoye, a Liverpool FC supporter who attended the Lagos tour, shared: “Seeing the Premier League Trophy in person was surreal — like standing on the pitch at Anfield. Guinness created something unforgettable, and I’ll carry this moment with me for life.”
At the Lagos leg of the tour held at The Palms Shopping Mall, Olayinka Bakare, Marketing and Innovation Director at Guinness Nigeria, added: “This wasn’t just a trophy tour. It was a celebration of identity, pride, and shared joy. At Guinness, we are committed to curating bold, culturally relevant experiences that reflect the heartbeat of our consumers. This campaign reminded us of the power of sport to inspire and unite.”
