Nigeria’s foremost energy solutions
company, Aiteo Group, has signed a partnership agreement with the
Confederation of African Football (CAF) on the sponsorship of its annual
award event, the CAF Awards.....
Dating back to the 1970s, the yearly
awards event is organised to honour footballers and individuals who have
excelled in various departments of the game. It brings together those
who have made meaningful contribution to the development of football on
the African continent.
This partnership further deepens the
participation of Aiteo in football. Already, the company is the Official
Optimum Partner of the Nigerian Football Federation, and the sponsor of
the country’s Federation Cup, which has now been renamed, “The Aiteo
Cup.”
Speaking on the commitment of Aiteo to
the advancement of football in Africa, its Executive Vice President, Mr.
Benedict Peters said: “This sponsorship shows that there is a clear
momentum behind Aiteo’s involvement in the game. Buoyed by the success
of our corporate social commitment in Nigeria that has resulted in our
emergence as the first African nation to qualify for the World Cup, we
are encouraged to advance our investment in the game to a continental
level.
“Our aim is to bolster the profile of African players globally, and encourage budding talents to put in their best.”
“CAF Awards shares our values in
relation to creating opportunities, healthy competition and recognition
for hard work. We plan on using this partnership to truly enrich the fan
experience for millions of Africans.” Benedict Peters added.
Reacting to the development, CAF
President Ahmad, said: “We are very glad to welcome Aiteo on board this
partnership. Aiteo is distinguished for its commitment to excellence and
this sponsorship is a demonstration of its confidence in CAF’s renowned
value proposition as a veritable platform for brand extension across
Africa. We look forward to a long and fruitful partnership.”
