Nigerian singer, songwriter, and actor Banky W was among the fans who turned out to watch Sporting Lagos FC’s home game against Gombe United on Monday.
Banky W is a known football fan and has been seen supporting the Super Eagles on several occasions. He is also a fan of English Premier League club Manchester United.
The singer was spotted at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena, formerly Onikan Stadium, cheering on Sporting Lagos FC as they defeated Gombe United 2-0.
Banky W’s presence at the game was a boost for Sporting Lagos FC, who are playing their first season in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL). The team’s victory was a perfect start to their campaign and will give them confidence as they look to establish themselves as a force in the NPFL.
Banky W’s support for Sporting Lagos FC is a positive development for the club and for Nigerian football as a whole. His presence at the game will help to raise the profile of the club and attract more fans to the stadium.
It is also hoped that Banky W’s support will inspire other Nigerian celebrities to come out and support local football clubs. This would help to boost the popularity of the sport and create a more vibrant football culture in Nigeria.
