Mastercard recently wrapped up its UEFA Champions League campaign in Nigeria with a spectacular event, offering cardholders an unforgettable viewing experience of the final match. Held at the Landmark Event Centre in Lagos, the event was not just a celebration of football but also a demonstration of Mastercard's commitment to its Nigerian customers.

The exclusive event welcomed a diverse array of guests, including partners, cardholders, football legends, and other prominent figures, all coming together to enjoy the excitement of the UEFA Champions League final. For one lucky cardholder and their two friends, Mastercard went a step further, providing a luxurious three-day trip that immersed them in the passion and thrill of football like never before.

This campaign was more than just a viewing event; it was an opportunity for Mastercard to deepen its connection with football enthusiasts across Nigeria.
