Led by veteran Nollywood actor Segun Arinze, the official supporters club of Chelsea in Nigeria also marked their event with a present to the club.

The Lagos event was organised in partnership with MSport, Chelsea’s official betting partner in Africa. It was the penultimate stop of the club’s 2025/26 international fan engagement programme, which aims to strengthen connections with supporters around the world.
