The three-day tour will feature premier events in Lagos and Uyo, and a match to be played by favored consumers and Puyol.
Speaking on the choice to bring Puyol to Nigeria, Emmanuel Oriakhi, Marketing Director, Nigerian Breweries, said the ace defender was an all-around favourite before his retirement, which made him best-fit for the tour.
“Often considered as one of the best defenders of all time, Puyol is the perfect fit because we wanted to host one of the world’s best footballers and also give Nigerians the chance to meet him for the first time in Nigeria.
“We’re excited to be creating premium exciting experiences for our consumers and we’re sure they’d be more stunned as we make other announcements in the coming weeks.”
