Atletico Madrid will be facing home-based Super Eagles in Nigeria in the GOtv Max Cup, six days after their Europa Cup final against Marseille in Lyon.
The game is billed for the beautiful Goodswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo, on 22 May.
“As you all know Atlético Madrid is one of the top clubs in La Liga. GOtv customers, and indeed football fans in Nigeria, will have the rare opportunity of watching the stars play the Super Eagles right here on Nigerian soil,” General Manager, Sales and Marketing, Multichoice, Martin Mabutho, said at a press conference.
“MultiChoice is undoubtedly the continent’s leader in sports and we have repeatedly shown this not only by the exclusive content we broadcast but also by the way we support sports in Nigeria and put the country on the global sports map through exciting initiatives like the GOtv Max Cup.”
On his part, La Liga president Javier Tebas said they were looking forward to the game with excitement.
“Atletico Madrid, one of La Liga’s greatest clubs, will come to Nigeria and give our fans the chance to enjoy watching their stars up close. Africa and Nigeria, in particular, are very important for us and have a lot of love for Spanish football, something we are proud of.”
