MTN Nigeria Treats Fans with Intense Manchester Derby Watch Party

Football fans in Lagos witnessed an evening of pure adrenaline and football passion as a leading telecommunications company, MTN Nigeria hosted another electrifying EPL Watch Party for the Manchester Derby on Sunday, April 6, 2025, at The Bay Lounge, Lekki.

The highly anticipated clash between Manchester United and Manchester City delivered tension, if not goals, as the two rivals battled to a gritty goalless draw. City, desperate to avenge their December defeat, controlled possession but lacked cutting edge, while United’s counter-attacks fizzled out in a game that mirrored both teams’ turbulent seasons. The match may not have been a classic, but the drama was undeniable: Foden’s missed one-on-one, Onana’s crucial saves, and late scares from United’s substitutes kept fans on the edge of their seats. The result left City clinging to fifth place and United languishing mid-table, a harsh reminder of how far both giants have fallen.

As the game unfolded on giant screens, attendees engaged in passionate debates, live-match analysis, and interactive activities. The energy was unmatched as every tackle, goal attempt, and crucial save kept fans on the edge of their seats. The watch party wasn’t just about the game; it was about the community, the camaraderie, and the shared love for football.

Lakinbofa Goodluck, MTN Nigeria’s PR Manager, reiterated the brand’s commitment to creating unforgettable football experiences. “Football brings people together like nothing else. Through events like this, we at MTN are not just showing matches; we’re creating a space for fans to celebrate their passion and connect over the game they love.”
