Telecommunications infrastructure company IHS has partnered with the Spires 5-Aside Naija Street Soccer Tournament ahead of the 2026 Lagos State Championship in October, The PUNCH reports.
The partnership was unveiled in Lagos on Wednesday in collaboration with the Lagos State Sports Commission, with its Director-General, Lekan Fatodu, and other officials of the commission in attendance.
Spires Media public relations manager, Victor Ottah, said the partnership would take the street football project beyond the pitch through initiatives designed to engage participants and communities.
Ottah said IHS, which manages more than 16,000 mobile phone towers and sites across Nigeria, would bring significant innovations to the project through the collaboration.
“This partnership is one made in heaven. IHS is known for bringing people closer through its work in the telecommunications industry, and now it is joining forces with Spires Media to drive the 5-Aside project with significant innovations,” he said.
