Football enthusiasts in Nigeria are set to jostle for a sum of three million naira after Trophy Lager launched their maiden 5-a-side tournament for their consumers.
Trophy Lager, a leading beer brand revealed the theme for the tournament ‘Trophy 5-a-side Field of Honour’ with plans for the 10-week football tournament that will cover four states namely Lagos, Ogun, Osun and Oyo states.
