When talking about Lagos, Nigeria’s biggest city and economic engine, home to over 20 million people. Also known as Eko, it sits on the Atlantic coast and drives much of the country’s culture, finance and sports scene.

For example, the Super Falcons’ 5‑0 thrashing of Zambia in Casablanca sparked celebrations across Lagos bars, while the Brazil‑South Korea friendly highlighted how Lagos venues host international fixtures, tying the city to global football narratives.
