Chelsea set for historic Lagos visit as Victor Moses headlines ‘The Famous CFC’ fan event

Chelsea FC are set to make history with their first-ever visit to Lagos, Nigeria, as part of their global fan engagement initiative, “The Famous CFC,” in partnership with MSport.

The Premier League giants confirmed that Lagos will host the penultimate stop of their 2025/26 campaign this May, marking a significant moment in the club’s efforts to connect with their massive African fan base, particularly in Nigeria, where Chelsea boast one of their strongest international followings.

Leading the headline appearance will be former Blues star and Super Eagles forward Victor Moses, who is set to engage directly with fans through a series of exciting activities. Moses, a fan favorite during his time at Stamford Bridge, is expected to play a central role in celebrating the club’s deep-rooted connection with Nigerian supporters.

The event promises a vibrant mix of interactive experiences, giving fans a rare opportunity to get closer to the club they passionately support—from meet-and-greet sessions to immersive brand activations.

In an official statement, Chelsea highlighted the importance of the visit, describing it as a landmark moment in their global outreach programme.

“Chelsea Football Club will be visiting Lagos, Nigeria, for the first time in the club’s history this May when our fan engagement programme, ‘The Famous CFC,’ hosts its penultimate event of the 2025/26 season,” the statement read.

The initiative underscores Chelsea’s commitment to strengthening ties with their international fanbase, using football as a bridge to connect cultures and communities around the world.

For fans in Lagos and across Nigeria, the upcoming event is more than just a club visit—it’s a long-awaited celebration of loyalty, passion, and a shared love for the Blues.
