Mastercard turned up the excitement for Ghanaian football fans, as it hosted an exclusive UEFA Champions League final viewing event in Accra.
This unforgettable evening was the grand finale of the 2025 Africa Football Passion campaign and the “Spend and Win” promotion, designed to reward loyal Mastercard cardholders for their everyday purchases.
The event brought together business leaders, corporate partners and key stakeholders in a vibrant and high-energy atmosphere, as guests eagerly watched Paris Saint-Germain take on Inter Milan in the much-anticipated final.
The occasion wasn’t just about football – it served as a platform for connection, celebration and the exploration of new business opportunities.
Guests were treated to premium hospitality, interactive activities and a lively performance from Ghana’s own reggae sensation, Samini, adding to the excitement.
However, the night’s highlights came with the recognition of four lucky winners of Mastercard’s Spend and Win campaign.
Executed in partnership with GTBank, Consolidated Bank Ghana, GCB Bank and National Investment Bank, the promotion offered cardholders a chance to win an all-expenses-paid luxury experience.
The winners and their guests were awarded an exclusive two-night stay at Aqua Safari Resort, including chauffeur-driven transport, premium accommodation, fine dining, wellness treatments and a private screening of the UEFA Champions League Final.
This bespoke experience showcased Mastercard’s commitment to transforming everyday transactions into priceless moments.
“Football in Ghana is more than a sport – it’s a source of national pride and unity,” said Dr. Folasade Femi-Lawal, Country Manager and Area Business Head for West Africa at Mastercard. “Through our Africa Football Passion campaign and Spend and Win promotion, we are celebrating more than just the game. We are rewarding our cardholders with experiences that are truly Priceless.”
Mastercard’s support of the UEFA Champions League spans over three decades, and the Ghana activation was a part of a larger regional effort to turn global football moments into localized celebrations. By providing fans with exclusive opportunities to get closer to the action, Mastercard aims to create lasting memories and deepen connections with the sport.
As Paris Saint-Germain lifted the trophy as champions, both the general viewing audience and the exclusive winner group shared in the collective joy of the moment – made all the more special through Mastercard’s dedication to curating experiences that matter.
In a year where football passion and fan engagement have never been higher, Mastercard continues to cement its position as a leader in creating memorable experiences for football lovers across Africa and beyond.
