Aiteo Group, the official partner of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), has premiered an official theme song to boost the Super Eagles of Nigeria as the team departs to the Russia 2018 World Cup.
It also pledged to donate $50,000 to the team ‘for every unreturned goal’ scored at the Mundial.
The rousing theme song titled, ‘Dem Go Hear Am, meaning “Go Show Them” was composed by the duo of Nigeria’s Hip-Hop/Afrobeat top shots – Olamide and Phyno.
The Single has been well received by Nigeria’s teeming football and music fans, and is currently enjoying massive airplay with over 1,000,000 downloads recorded across assorted media channels. The hit track also garnered 7.5 million social media impressions barely 24 hours after release.
The Executive Vice Chairman of Aiteo Global, Mr. Benedict Peters, sponsorship of the theme song is yet another demonstration of the Group’s commitment to promoting football in Nigeria, as a means of uniting the people.
“Football is a phenomenon in Nigeria. You can see and feel its power on every street. It galvanises unity amongst our people, irrespective of ethnic or class differences. As the World Cup kicks off, we solidly throw our weight behind our national team and its ever-effervescent supporters spread across the globe. We look forward to great football moments that will become historic as the Super Eagles play to covet the World Cup trophy,” a statement quoted him as saying.
President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Mr. Amaju Pinnick, extolled Aiteo for its support for football development in Nigeria.
He said: “Aiteo has been magnanimous, not just to the Super Eagles but in their contributions towards the revitalisation of football in Nigeria and Africa. Our partnership has returned impressive results; we are able to pay our coaches on time and keep our players well motivated. We are glad that Aiteo continues to exceed our expectations always. They are indeed deserving of commendations.”
Aiteo signed a N2.5 billion sponsorship agreement with NFF in May 2017, to cater for the salaries of all national team coaches for a period of five years.
