Lagos, Nigeria – 5th August 2026 — Super Eagles legend and 1994 AFCON winner Daniel Amokachi has been officially unveiled as 22Bet’s Pan-African Brand Ambassador at a press event held at BON Hotels, GRA Ikeja, Lagos.
The appointment of the former Everton and Club Brugge striker marks a significant move by 22Bet to deepen its connection with African football. Amokachi, widely known as “The Bull,” remains one of the most respected figures from Nigeria’s golden generation of the 1990s.
Amokachi was a key member of the Super Eagles side that won the 1994 Africa Cup of Nations and claimed Olympic gold at Atlanta 1996. He also scored the first goal in the history of the UEFA Champions League while playing for Club Brugge and won the FA Cup with Everton in 1995.

22Bet Nigeria Country Manager Fikayo Ogunfuye:
“Today is an important day for 22Bet Nigeria and for African football. We are proud to officially unveil Daniel Amokachi as 22Bet’s Pan-African Brand Ambassador. This partnership is not about short-term visibility — it is about purpose. Daniel joins our pan-African sports platform to support football culture, local communities, and responsible engagement across Africa.”
Daniel Amokachi:
“Football gave me everything. It took a boy from Kaduna and gave him the world. Africa has incredible talent. I want to support young players and football communities. This partnership is about giving back and telling African football stories — the real stories of hard work, sacrifice, and hope that too often go unheard.”
Through this partnership, 22Bet and Daniel Amokachi will work together to:
• Celebrate African football culture and its heroes
• Support initiatives that impact young players and local football communities
• Promote positive values and responsible engagement around the game
