As part of its support for the Cashless Nigeria Initiative,
MasterCard, official sponsor of the UEFA Champions League, is running a promo
that will increase the thrill of the UEFA Champions League in Nigeria.
The promo which started in Nigeria in 2011 provides
MasterCard cardholders an opportunity to win four tickets to watch the 2013
UEFA Champions League Final between Bayern Munich and Borrusia Dortmund, live
at the Wembley Stadium.
While announcing the promo, Vice President and Area Business
Head, West Africa, MasterCard, Omokehinde Ojumuyide revealed that there are 500
additional double ticketsto watch the game at the exclusive UEFA Champions
League Fan viewing event in Lagos apart from the four going to London.
“To enter the competition, all a cardholder has to do is use
his or her Debit MasterCard, the more they use their Debit MasterCard card, the
more chances they have of winning,” she said.
Explaining the motive of building the promo around football,
she said: “Nigeria is very important to MasterCard and is the hub for
MasterCard in Sub-Sahara Africa.”
According to her, ‘the passion of Nigerians for football is
tremendous and that is why MasterCard is committed to giving its cardholders an
unforgettable football experience this year’.
“This event is one of the many incentives we have in store
for Nigerians in support of the Cashless Nigeria Drive.” She added.
Nigerians were treated to a fun filled night during the last
edition of the UEFA Champions League Final Fan Viewing experience in 2012
hosted by MasterCard.
This year’s edition promises to continue the fun as there
will be VIP sport personalities in attendance.
The participating banks in the promo are Guaranty Trust Bank,
Skye Bank, United Bank for Africa (UBA), Zenith Bank, Wema Bank, Ecobank, First
Bank, Enterprise Bank, Stanbic IBTC Bank, Unity Bank, and Keystone Bank.
P.S: One question though, was it not the same Nigeria that
wanted the cashless policy to succeed that decided to introduce a single
currency note of 5,000 naira?
