Chelsea will be visiting Nigeria officially for the first time in May, the English Premier League club confirmed on Thursday.
The visit will be headlined by former Super Eagles star Victor Moses, under the club’s global fan engagement initiative The Famous CFC.
“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 announced on Thursday night.
“Former Blue and Super Eagles ace Victor Moses will meet the club’s passionate fans across the event in the vibrant Nigerian city.
“The Famous CFC in Lagos will bring a packed weekend of action to the city, where fans will be welcomed to the ever-popular watch party along with exclusive activities including a Q&A with Moses. There will also be the chance to win signed merchandise.”
The 35-year-old Moses, who featured for the Blues from 2012 and 2021 and won the Premier League title in 2017, is one of several former Nigeria internationals to sign for Chelsea, with the others including Celestine Babayaro and Mikel Obi.
“The visit to Nigeria is the fifth stop this season for the international fan programme, which looks to deepen connections with Blues supporters around the world,” Chelsea added.
“Extended this season with more host cities to ensure even more fans can come together at exclusive events, the party in Lagos will bring the Chelsea family together as the season comes to a climax.
“Moses is well-known among Chelsea fans for his time at the club during which he most-notably won the 2016/17 Premier League title.
“Having proudly represented Nigeria since his debut for the Super Eagles in 2012, Victor was part of the winning 2013 Africa Cup of Nations team.
“He participated in both the 2014 and 2018 FIFA World Cup campaigns prior to his retirement from international football in 2018.”
