Guinness Brings Premier League Trophy Home, Inspires Youth
Guinness Nigeria has reaffirmed its legacy as a cultural connector and community champion as it brings the iconic Premier League Trophy to Lagos state in a historic tour celebrating 75 years of impact.
This visit was also a highlight of Guinness’ Premier League Trophy Tour in Nigeria, underscoring the brand’s deep-rooted connection with Nigerian passion points, particularly the unifying power of sports.
Receiving the trophy at the state house in Marina, recently, Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu praised Guinness Nigeria’s enduring commitment to sport, development, and nation-building, noting the brand’s pivotal role in using football to unite and energise communities.
“It is exciting to see Lagos as part of this historic tour. Guinness has long been a part of our story, from being the first destination for its brewery outside the UK, to its decades of social impact. It also feels great to have the real Premier League Trophy in Lagos.
“This does reinforce something positive about our enthusiasm, and it is gratifying to know that this is specially brought to us by none other but a 75-year-old Guinness Nigeria. As Lagosians, we are excited to identify with this brand as a socially responsible organisation,” he said.
