PICTORIAL: Football Fans Throng Lagos Mall To Meet Troost-Ekong Ahead Charity Game

Super Eagles Captain, William Troost-Ekong, was greeted by an enthusiastic crowd of fans in Lagos on Friday evening, as he hosted a ‘meet and greet’ ahead of the second edition of his foundation’s charity match, scheduled for Sunday at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena, Onikan, Lagos.

According to The Punch, the event, held at the Puma store in Palms Mall, Lekki, offered fans a rare opportunity to interact with the Nigerian international in an informal setting, just days before the highly anticipated #PlayForPurpose match.

Supporters of all ages gathered in large numbers, many arriving hours early to get a chance to take photographs, receive autographs and share personal moments with the player.

The meet and greet also served as a show of appreciation to Puma, one of the lead sponsors of the charity initiative.

Sunday’s charity match will feature an all-star cast of sports and entertainment personalities, including boxing world champion Anthony Joshua, Super Eagles forwards Victor Osimhen and Odion Ighalo, former internationals Obafemi Martins and Vincent Enyeama, as well as popular musicians Flavour, Falz and OdumoduBlvck.
