Heineken’s UEFA Champions League trophy tour will see a legend of the game, Clarence Seedorf, who played for Ajax, Real Madrid, Inter Milan and AC Milan, in Nigeria.
The tour provides football fans around the
world with a chance to be in close proximity to the iconic UEFA Champions
League trophy and the heroes of the game. In its 15-year history, the UEFA
Champions League trophy tour presented by Heineken has reached 31 countries
across Africa, Asia, and North and South America.
This year, the tour will visit Lagos and
Abuja, both in Nigeria, where Seedorf will feature live in the Heineken
football face-off.
Heineken 2021/22 UEFA Champions League
campaign entitled, “Cheers to All Fans,” highlights the inclusive nature of the
game of football, communicating that football belongs to all passionate fans;
regardless of gender, age, or tribe.
As part of its global campaign, the 2022

April 12 and in Abuja on April 13, 2022.
The two-day tour affords fans with a rare
opportunity to take photos with the UEFA Champions League trophy, meet UCL
legend, Seedorf and experience the thrill of the tour in their hometown.

currently the only player to have won the UEFA Champions League trophy with
three clubs: Ajax in 1995, Real Madrid in 1998 and twice with AC Milan in 2003
and again in 2007.
Seedorf has a historic link to the UEFA
Champions League and plays a significant role in demonstrating the intense
passion for the tournament.
