Siasia storms Champions Planet for Real, Dortmund

Former Super Ea-gles coach Samson Siasia will be the ‘Legend of the Night’ at the Heineken Champions Planet tonight, as guests get the opportunity to interact with him during the second semi final first leg match of the UEFA Champions League.

The Beijing 2008 Olympics silver medal winning coach for Nigeria, who also piloted the Flying Eagles of Nigeria to a runner up feat behind Argentina at the FIFA Under-20 Championship in Holland in 2005, confirmed his intention to be part of the premium viewing experience at the Heineken Champions Planet in Victoria Island, Lagos.

“I feel highly honored to be invited for this unique programme. Although I was part of the premium experience some seasons ago, I would be delighted this time around to mix and interact with guests who will also be willing to know more about my career in the game,” Siasia remarked last night.

Siasia, who has a large fan base in the country, will explore the RFID technology that was rolled out early last month to share his excitement with friends on social platforms like Facebook and Twitter worldwide.

The former Super Eagles striker will be part of the live cast for the high profile match between Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid, and will share his insight on the previous day’s semifinal first leg match between Bayern Munich and FC Barcelona at the Allianz Arena in Germany.
