Stars Unite in Lagos for Second #PlayForPurpose Charity Match by Troost-Ekong Foundation

Football, fun and purpose will take centre stage on Sunday as the Troost-Ekong Foundation hosts its second annual charity football match at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena, Onikan, Lagos.

EpeInsights reports that the event, tagged #PlayForPurpose, promises to be an unforgettable gathering of sports icons and entertainment heavyweights — all coming together for one goal: to raise funds and hope for underprivileged children.

Backed by NoOnes, with support from BFA Sports, Puma, and Power Horse, the event is drawing major buzz thanks to its impressive lineup.

Expected to hit the pitch are global boxing superstar Anthony Joshua, top footballers like Victor Osimhen, Obafemi Martins, Odion Ighalo, and Vincent Enyeama, alongside music sensations ODUMODUBLVCK, Falz and Flavour.

This isn’t just about star power, it’s about impact. The first edition of the charity match, held in Uyo, was a huge success.

It brought together former footballers, Super Eagles players, comedians, and musicians who thrilled fans while raising much-needed funds for children in need.

At the heart of this initiative is William Troost-Ekong, captain of Nigeria’s national football team, the Super Eagles.

Through his foundation, he’s using the power of football to transform lives, especially for children from underserved communities.

Since its inception, the Troost-Ekong Foundation has gained strong support from both public and private partners, showing how much people believe in the mission.

In the lead-up to Sunday’s game, the foundation hosted a jersey unveiling at the Puma store in Palms Mall, Lekki, drawing a crowd of enthusiastic fans.

Notable at the event was Bobo Ajudua, media and sports lawyer and a key partner at BFA & Co Legal, further cementing the foundation’s credibility.

If you’re looking for a way to give back while enjoying great entertainment, this charity match is where you need to be. It’s more than just a game, it’s a movement of purpose, compassion, and unity.
