With only 3 days before the commencement of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, Nigeria’s foremost sports management and media firm — Making of Champions Limited (MoC) — has announced leading payments & mobile money company Paga, as the official sponsor of MoC’s live coverage of the Tokyo Olympic Games scheduled to hold from 23rd July — 8th August 2021 at Tokyo, Japan.

MoC has built a reputation in Africa and across the globe, providing world-class media coverage at over 10 major competitions since 2014, including Rio Olympics, 3 World Championships (Beijing 2015, London 2017, Doha 2019), 3 African Championships (Marrakech 2014, Durban 2016, Asaba 2018), 2 World Relays (Bahamas 2014 & 2015), 2 African Games (Brazzaville 2015, Rabat 2019) & 1 World Junior Championships (Bydgoszcz 2016).

Today, MoC is a leading source of live Team Nigeria coverage and will capture every moment of Team Nigeria’s performances at the Tokyo Olympics Games courtesy of Paga, across all the sports that the nation will be competing in — Athletics, Badminton, Basketball, Canoe sprint, Gymnastic, Rowing, Taekwondo, Table Tennis and Wrestling

This new partnership comes in the wake of a successful Paga/MoC Relay competition hosted in Lagos, where both establishments partnered to enable Relay & Individual Athletes from across Nigeria and Africa to qualify for the Olympics. Nigeria’s mixed 4x400m broke the African Record (AR) and National Record (NR), qualifying with a time of 3:14.09s

Speaking on the partnership, MoC Founder & CEO Bambo Akani said: “We are elated to welcome Paga as sponsors of our live coverage of the Tokyo Olympics Games. Paga has again reinforced its commitment to making life possible for everyone by ensuring millions of Nigerians home and abroad are afforded the opportunity of following Team Nigeria’s performance at the Olympics Games via our website & social media channels”.
