02 Football and betting in Nigeria
Nigeria lives and breathes football. The Super Eagles have won the Africa Cup of Nations 3 times (1980, 1994 and 2013) and Nigeria won Olympic gold in 1996, one of the proudest moments in African football.
Nigerian fans are among the biggest Premier League supporters in the world: Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool games are the most bet on, from Lagos to Abuja. Locally, Enyimba, Rangers International and Kano Pillars are the historic NPFL clubs.
Sports betting is very popular in Nigeria and is regulated at state level: always check the rules where you live and only bet with money you can afford to lose.
