It has been 13 fun
filled weeks on Nigeria’s most recognisable football platform, Star Football
Superfans. There have been penalty shootouts, 4-0 thrashings, bum-wiggling
performances, a stunning end-of-season EPL party, boisterous crowds and of
course, lots and lots of passionate football fans. Star Lager has taken the
concept of fan engagement to another level over the past three months with cash
and item rewards, a groovy football atmosphere and even Mozez Praiz.
All good things
however, must come to an end and this week, we said Adios to the
wonderfully engrossing campaign. Rounding up the campaign were two teams
representing Manchester United and Barcelona. What better way to pay a tribute
to this groundbreaking platform than to bring together two of the football
world’s heavyweights to clash at the Superfans Arena?
The encounter was a
delightfully open one befitting of the occasion as Yusuf Issa, Aliyu Idris,
Danjuma David, Akabuogu Paschal and Udeze Bright Godian of Young Stars came
from a goal down to defeat Ikechukwu Diala, Aki Udochu, Nyong Kufre Ita, Amaha
Henry Edmond and Obatta Osareme John of Catalonia FC after having scored
first early in the first half.
It was a gloriously
unpredictable affair which received the deserved flourish with a literally
ground-shaking Show Your Passion performance by Idris of Young Stars to
snatch the winning goal ahead of the Barcelona quintet and win the final N1
million. Catalonia FC may have had to content themselves with the N100,000
consolation prize in the end, but they can be proud of themselves for having
contributed to a fitting finale to this wonderful show.
We’re going to miss
Star Football Superfans! Where football fans…SHINE ON!
