Sporting Lagos smiles to the bank after sealing a sponsorship with ChopLife

As part of this collaboration, Choplife Gaming will become the official sleeve partner of the club, with their logo displayed on the arms of Sporting Lagos’ home and away jerseys for the 2023/24 NPFL season.

With operations in six African countries, Sporting Lagos is excited to be Choplife Gaming’s first official partner in Nigeria. In addition to the logo on the club’s jerseys, Choplife Gaming will work closely with Sporting Lagos on community projects and initiatives, engaging with supporters and contributing to the club’s charitable activities.

Yasmin Baba, Head of Legal & Partnerships at Choplife Gaming, expressed their enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, “We, at Choplife Gaming, are extremely passionate about football and thrilled to partner with Sporting Lagos as the team plays in their first ever season of Nigeria’s Premier Football League. With great leadership on and off the pitch, we’re excited to see the team perform well this season.”

The partnership, which kicks off immediately, will see Sporting Lagos players wearing their home kits with Choplife Gaming’s logo as they take the field for the third home game of the NPFL season against Niger Tornadoes on Sunday, October 29th, 2023. Tickets for the game can be purchased here.

Founded in 2020, Choplife Gaming is the premier gaming franchisee in Africa, operating trusted gaming brands across East and West Africa and expanding while ensuring the highest standards of operational efficiency and compliance in all markets.

Sporting Lagos was founded in 2021. The club achieved promotion to the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) — the first-tier of professional club football in Nigeria — after just two years in the second division. Sporting Lagos is more than just a football club though. Along with a youth football academy, an affiliate club in Denmark, and a state-of-the-art arena in the works, Sporting Lagos is one part of a multi-dimensional strategy to cultivate a bonafide football ecosystem in Nigeria through talent, infrastructure, and a long-lasting brand.

Fola Olatunji-David, Member of Sporting Lagos’ governing board, expressed his excitement about the partnership, saying, “We’re delighted to welcome Choplife Gaming to Sporting Lagos. As a football club, we are happy to be at the center of an evolving landscape where sports intersects with responsible gaming and entertainment, and that’s exactly what this partnership brings.”
