Former Super Eagles striker Daniel Amokachi has been unveiled as the Pan-African brand ambassador for sports betting company 22Bet.
The announcement was made on Wednesday at the BON Hotel in Ikeja, Lagos, where the company said the partnership would promote African football culture, support grassroots communities, and encourage responsible engagement with sports across the continent.
Speaking after signing the partnership agreement, Amokachi described the appointment as a privilege, saying he was grateful to have been chosen despite the many football legends across Africa.
“I am honoured to stand before you today. There are over a million legends out there who could easily be standing where I am today, so I give God the glory for this opportunity. Anybody could have been standing here today, and I’m truly honoured,” he said.
The former Everton striker revealed that discussions with 22Bet began during the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), adding that he embraced the offer because of its Pan-African vision.
