Twin Nigerian Boys Chosen As Official Champions League Final Match Mascots

Two football loving children from Nigeria have been chosen as official mascots for the UEFA Champions League final game on Saturday, June 6.

Abba Ahmed and Jordan Ubah will walk through the tunnel and onto the pitch, escorting star players from Barcelona and Juventus.

The player mascots will also experience the buzz and excitement of the pre-match build up, which includes access to the tunnel, a practice run out and collection of their official match day uniform. Abba and Jordan were chosen from a competition organised by MasterCard.

The contest saw parents, teachers and football coaches share videos of their children and students performing a goal celebration on social media to stand a chance to win a MasterCard Priceless Experience, which also includes an all-expense paid trip with their families to watch the UEFA Champions League Final.

The panel of judges consisting of internationally renowned football legend Nwankwo Kanu, Tunji Adeyinka, Managing Director, Connect Marketing and Vice President and Area Business Head, MasterCard Omokehinde Ojomuyide, selected the two finalists from hundreds of entries.

“Taking to the field for a UEFA Champions League Final is one of the absolute highlights in any footballer’s career. Our player mascots will enjoy an absolutely priceless experience on the pitch on Saturday,” says Ojomuyide.
