FrieslandCampina WAMCO Nigeria PLC, producers of Peak Milk and the official dairy partner of the Super Eagles, marked the national team’s qualification for the 2024 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) with a special breakfast event in their camp on Sunday.
The Super Eagles secured their spot in the tournament following a 1-1 draw against the Cheetahs of Benin Republic in Abidjan last Thursday. The result saw Nigeria top their group with 11 points from five matches, ahead of Rwanda and Libya, earning an early ticket to the 37th AFCON scheduled to take place in Morocco.
In a statement on Monday, Ore Famurewa, Executive Director of Corporate Affairs at FrieslandCampina WAMCO, highlighted the company’s long-standing partnership with the Super Eagles, which dates back to 1998. Famurewa noted that Peak Milk presented its nourishing dairy products to the players and officials during the event, aiming to boost morale and provide high-quality nourishment.
Super Eagles captain William Troost-Ekong expressed gratitude on behalf of the team for Peak Milk’s continued support.
“We are especially grateful to Peak Milk for hosting us today and for standing by the team for decades. Their support is invaluable, and I believe it will inspire us to achieve even greater success, especially at next year’s AFCON in Morocco,” Troost-Ekong said.
Olumide Olaokun, Brand Manager for Peak, underscored the importance of the event, stating:
“Peak has been nourishing Nigeria’s number one football brand as the Official Milk of the Super Eagles since 1998. Today’s presentation of our nourishing products will definitely spur the team to victory as we all look forward to a greater performance at next year’s AFCON and earning the ticket to the World Cup to be hosted by the USA, Canada, and Mexico in 2026.”
The breakfast event further strengthened Peak Milk’s bond with the Super Eagles as both look ahead to a successful campaign in Morocco.
