Chelsea Football Club will make a historic first-ever visit to Lagos this May, bringing its global fan engagement programme, The Famous CFC, to Nigeria in what is expected to be a landmark moment for supporters in the country.
The visit forms part of the club’s international outreach for the 2025/26 season and represents the fifth stop on the expanded fan engagement tour designed to deepen connections with supporters worldwide. Lagos, widely regarded as one of Africa’s most vibrant cities, will host the penultimate event of the season as Chelsea intensifies efforts to strengthen its global fan base.
Central to the event will be former Chelsea star and Super Eagles winger Victor Moses, who is set to engage directly with fans throughout the weekend. Moses will feature in a series of activities, including a question-and-answer session, offering supporters a rare opportunity to interact with one of the club’s most celebrated recent players.
The Lagos event will also include a flagship watch party alongside a range of exclusive fan experiences, with organisers promising interactive sessions and opportunities for attendees to win signed club merchandise.
Moses remains a revered figure among Chelsea supporters, having played a key role in the club’s 2016/17 Premier League triumph. His legacy extends beyond club football, with the winger also enjoying a distinguished international career with Nigeria. Since making his debut for the Super Eagles in 2012, he was instrumental in the country’s victorious 2013 Africa Cup of Nations campaign and featured in the 2014 and 2018 FIFA World Cup tournaments before retiring from international football in 2018.
Chelsea’s decision to bring its fan programme to Lagos underscores the club’s recognition of Nigeria’s passionate football audience and growing influence within the global game. The initiative aims to bring fans closer to the club while celebrating the shared culture and enthusiasm that define its worldwide community.
