“Your efforts not only helped secure the championship but also served as a shining example of dedication and excellence for millions of Nigerians and football lovers around the world,” the statement read.

“Your outstanding performance, resilience, and excellence on the pitch have not only brought immense pride to Nigeria but have also cemented your position as one of the finest in the world today.

“Your achievement is a testament to hard work, discipline, and an unyielding commitment to excellence—values that resonate deeply with our brand,” the company noted.
