The UEFA Champions League season is an exciting period for football fans all over the world. In Nigeria, many prefer to watch live matches at viewing centers, sharing the fun and dramatic moments with friends over a bottle of beer.
International Premium Beer, Heineken treated UCL fans to an exclusive viewing experience at IMAX Cinemas Lekki, on February 14, 2018 where they watched the explosive clashes between Real Madrid and PSG, as well as Porto Vs Liverpool. The event is first in a series of live matches planned for the rest of the 2017/2018 Champions League season in Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt.
From our observation in Lagos, here are the 5 types of football fans you might meet on a typical UCL night at a Heineken Viewing Centre:
The Glamorous: Dressed in smashing outfits, cool, fresh people who’d never be seen out there without looking their classiest best, whether it be a red carpet event, or on a UCL game night.
The Romantics: What’s better than lovebirds who also share a love for football? And the night was made extra special because it was Valentine’s day
The Beer Lovers.
The Video Game Fanatics: While fans were busy cheering their teams on, the FIFA game addicts played their own match with so much concentration and intensity.
Football Elders: This set of people came with so much passion for the game and argued before, during and after the game. They know the stats, formation and all the players’ middle names.
