Chelsea Football Club has announced that it will visit Lagos for the first time in the club’s history this May, as part of its global fan engagement initiative, The Famous CFC. The Nigerian city will host the penultimate event of the 2025/26 programme, organised in partnership with MSport, the club’s official betting partner in Africa.

Former Chelsea and Super Eagles forward Victor Moses will headline the Lagos event, engaging fans through a series of activities designed to celebrate the club’s international following.

“Chelsea Football Club will be visiting Lagos, Nigeria, for the first time in the club’s history this May when our fan engagement programme The Famous CFC hosts its penultimate event of the 2025/26 season,” the club said in a statement.

The Lagos edition will feature a weekend of activities, including a watch party hosted by MSport, a question-and-answer session with Moses, and opportunities for supporters to win signed merchandise. “The Famous CFC in Lagos will bring a packed weekend of action to the city, where MSport will host an ever-popular watch party along with exclusive activities, including a Q&A with Moses and the chance for fans to win signed memorabilia,” the statement added.

This marks the fifth stop of Chelsea’s international fan programme this season, which has been expanded to include more host cities as the club seeks to strengthen its connection with supporters worldwide. “The visit to Nigeria is the fifth stop this season for the international fan programme, which looks to deepen connections with Blues supporters around the world,” the club noted.

Moses remains a popular figure among Chelsea fans, having played a key role in the club’s 2016/17 Premier League title-winning campaign. He also represented Nigeria at the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations and the 2014 and 2018 FIFA World Cups before retiring from international football in 2018.

The Lagos visit is expected to unite Chelsea’s Nigerian fan base ahead of the season’s conclusion, offering supporters the chance to celebrate their passion for the club through shared experiences and direct engagement with former players.
