The Mobolaji Johnson Arena is set to come alive on Sunday, June 22nd, 2025, as the Troost-Ekong Foundation (TEF) hosts the much-anticipated second edition of its Celebrity Charity Football Match.

 

Organized by Super Eagles defender William Troost-Ekong, the star-studded event will feature an impressive lineup of football icons and celebrities, including Victor Osimhen, Odion Ighalo, Obafemi Martins, and British-Nigerian boxing champion Anthony Joshua (AJ).

 

Following the success of the inaugural edition, this year’s event promises even greater excitement and fanfare, blending football with philanthropy in a bid to support underprivileged communities through the Foundation’s outreach programs.

 

The charity match will serve not only as entertainment but also as a platform to raise funds for educational and health initiatives championed by the Troost-Ekong Foundation. The event will bring together professional athletes, entertainers, influencers, and fans for a memorable day of sport and goodwill.

 

In a statement released by the Foundation, Troost-Ekong expressed his excitement: “It’s always amazing to see my colleagues and friends come together for a cause greater than football. This is more than a game – it’s about making a real difference in people’s lives.”

 

With the likes of Osimhen—Africa’s top football export—on the pitch, fans are guaranteed thrilling action, all in support of a noble cause.

 

Tickets are expected to go on sale soon, with proceeds going directly to TEF programs focused on youth empowerment and community development.

 

The countdown to June 22 has officially begun, as Lagos braces for another unforgettable football spectacle.
