Football icon and Guinness Ambassador, Rio Ferdinand, threw football fans into a frenzy when he flew into Nigeria for the spectacular Guinness Night Football event.

The Pan African tournament finale saw players from Cameroon, Uganda, and Kenya enjoy a sensational night of friendly rivalry in Lagos, hosted by Rio.

The ultramodern Legend Hotel Private Jet Hangar was venue to the unforgettable extravaganza, booming with vibrant expressions and diverse football-themed elements – from monkey post to foot snooker.

Guests were also treated to a Guinness inspired fashion showcase by urban designer – Drik; an intriguing movie showing at the cinema courtesy of Filmhouse; face painting and henna, while turntable maestro,  DJ Neptune shuffled itchy footsteps to the sound of music.

Highlights of the evening included a 5-a-side match final refereed by Rio. The friendly faceoff featured celebrity artists Davido, Sauti Sol, Salatiel, and Bebe Cool, all fully kitted.
