The event, held at MTN Plaza in Ikoyi, Lagos, celebrated one grand-prize winner of an all-expense-paid trip to Morocco and three recipients of ₦100,000 cash prizes.

The ceremony, attended by Funso Finnih, General Manager, Business Growth (MTN), and Samuel Olayemi, Chief Business Officer, VDL Technologies, highlighted MTN’s commitment to building deeper engagement with football fans during the AFCON season.

The cash prize winners, Akinwande Nathaniel Babafemi, Akinbuyide Kayode Akintade, and Adeyemi Adeniyi, expressed gratitude and excitement.

Babafemi described the Football Mania challenge as both entertaining and mentally stimulating.“The game is rewarding and challenging… it taxes your knowledge of football. I want to say a very big thank you to MTN and Markov Games AI for the money and the opportunity,” he said.

Adeniyi, who had previously won in another MTN campaign, said the experience reaffirmed his trust in the brand.“When they called, I knew this was real. This is my second time in this building receiving a prize. MTN has always been rewarding.”

For Akintade, the prize confirms the credibility of the platform.“For anyone who doubts it, just try once. This is not a scam,  it’s 100% real. MTN should continue giving us the best, and Markov Games AI should keep rewarding us.”
