Speaking while receiving the trophy, Governor Ambode expressed excitement with the fact that the organisers of the tour considered Lagos as one of the states to visit.

“We are pleased to also welcome Barcelona FC and Champions League legend, Carles Puyol, to Lagos, as well as our legend, JayJay Okocha to Lagos House.

Speaking earlier, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Nigerian Breweries Plc, organisers of the Trophy Tour, Jordi Bel, thanked Governor Ambode for warmly receiving the team, saying the trophy tour was specifically organised to bring the tournament closer to fans.
