April 22, 2024 | Lagos, Nigeria

Mastercard, a sponsor of the UEFA Champions League, has joined forces with Prince Ebeano, a leading retail chain in Nigeria, to bring the excitement of the Champions League closer to fans across Nigeria.

In a bid to reward Mastercard cardholders for their usage and create Priceless experiences, Mastercard and Prince Ebeano have launched a comprehensive market-wide campaign designed to reward Mastercard cardholders in Nigeria for their usage. This groundbreaking initiative offers an unparalleled opportunity: one lucky winner, accompanied by two friends, will embark on a Priceless adventure to experience the final match of the UEFA Champions League right here in Nigeria.

“Celebrating our collaboration with Prince Ebeano, we are thrilled to offer Nigerian consumers an exclusive opportunity to immerse themselves in the excitement of the UEFA Champions League. Through this campaign, we reaffirm our commitment to rewarding our cardholders while fostering a deeper connection with football enthusiasts in Nigeria. At Mastercard, we believe in creating Priceless moments, and we are excited to deliver an unforgettable experience to the lucky winner and their two friends“, remarked Folasade Femi-Lawal, Country Manager and Area Business Head, West Africa, at Mastercard.

To participate, consumers simply need to make an in-store purchase, using a Mastercard branded Pre-paid, Credit or Debit card (excluding corporate cards), at any Prince Ebeano store and engage with an in-store brand ambassador to verify the transaction. Imagine three days and two nights of electrifying excitement, as the lucky winner and two friends embark on an all-expenses-paid journey to witness the UEFA Champions League final in Nigeria. A Priceless surprise guest will also join the entourage, adding an extra layer of anticipation and unforgettable moments to this already sensational experience.

"We are thrilled to collaborate with Mastercard to deliver an extraordinary experience to Nigerian football fans. This collaboration is a testament to our shared values of creating memorable moments for our customers”, stated the Managing Director/CEO, Prince Ebeano.
