Chelsea have announced plans to visit Lagos for the first time in the club’s history as part of their global fan engagement initiative, The Famous CFC, later this May.
The Premier League side confirmed on Thursday that the Nigerian city will host the penultimate event of the 2025/26 programme, with the visit organised in partnership with MSport, the club’s official betting partner in Africa.
Former Chelsea and Super Eagles forward Victor Moses is set to headline the event, where he will interact with fans across a series of activities designed to celebrate the club’s global following.
“Chelsea Football Club will be visiting Lagos, Nigeria, for the first time in the club’s history this May when our fan engagement programme The Famous CFC hosts its penultimate event of the 2025/26 season,” the club said in a statement.
“The Lagos edition will feature a weekend of activities, including a watch party hosted by MSport, a question-and-answer session with Moses and opportunities for supporters to win signed merchandise,” the statement added.
The event marks the fifth stop of the international fan programme this season, which has been expanded to include more host cities as Chelsea seek to strengthen their connection with supporters worldwide.
