Because the TotalEnergies AFCON 2025 Trophy Tour arrived in Lagos, Mrs Olubumi Popoola-Modi, Government Director for Human Assets and Company Providers at TotalEnergies Advertising and marketing Nigeria Plc, mirrored on soccer’s distinctive energy to unite Nigerians.
Talking through the unveiling ceremony at Eko Tower 2, Victoria Island, Popoola-Modi shared a private story of how the eagerness and togetherness surrounding Nigerian soccer have deepened her appreciation for the game.
“I’ll not at all times have been a soccer fan,” she stated, “however each time Nigeria performs, I see the unbelievable unity the sport brings to our folks. The eagerness, the power, the togetherness — it’s one thing magical. And with the help TotalEnergies provides to soccer, I’ve come to like the sport deeply.”
She added that the spirit of Nigeria turns into one every time AFCON is on, describing the match as a second that transcends rivalry and celebrates the collective satisfaction of a nation.
“I wish to respect this nice organisation,” she continued. “Its help for soccer is likely one of the main causes the game comes alive for me and for thousands and thousands throughout the nation.”
The Lagos leg of the Trophy Tour started with a press convention at Eko Tower 2 earlier than shifting to a public viewing occasion at Marcellina’s Place, Ikeja, the place followers, group leaders and media representatives celebrated the event.
For Olubumi Popoola-Modi, TotalEnergies’ partnership with the Confederation of African Soccer (CAF) represents greater than sponsorship. It embodies a dedication to unity, empowerment and group connection — values that lie on the coronary heart of each soccer and the corporate’s mission.
Because the AFCON 2025 Trophy continues its journey throughout Africa, her message was clear: soccer is just not solely a sport — it’s a bridge that brings folks collectively, reminding Nigerians and Africans alike of their shared power and spirit.
