In a surprising turn of events, music legend Don Jazzy is set to storm the world of Nigerian football.
The famous music producer, known for discovering and nurturing stars like D’banj, Tiwa Savage, Rema, and Ayra Starr, is now stepping into the sports arena.
His new football team, Supremos FC, is set to compete in the inaugural season of Lagos Liga 2024.
However, it seems he is ready to prove that his eye for talent extends far beyond the recording studio.
Sources close to the Mavin Records boss reveal that Don Jazzy has big plans for Supremos FC.
The Lagos Liga, which kicks off next year, will feature twelve teams, each with its own unique flair and ambition.
The league is offering an eye-popping N50 million prize money—the largest single payout in the history of Nigerian football.
Don Jazzy’s football ambitions are no small matter.
With his proven ability to spot and groom talent, expectations are high that Supremos FC will be one of the top contenders.
The Lagos Liga isn’t just about Don Jazzy and Supremos FC.
The competition will see some of Nigeria’s top entrepreneurs going head-to-head, each determined to see their team come out on top.
Firecrackers FC, owned by tech entrepreneur Stephanie Etiaka, is being touted as a team to watch.
Another strong contender is Applebee FC, backed by Nnazilim Egbuonu of Travelbeta fame.
Even Sir Jarus, the CEO of Jarus Homes, has entered the fray with Jarus FC.
Meanwhile, Mavbrooks SC, led by career accountant Ayodeji E. Olowe, and Superstar FC, headed by tech entrepreneur Seye Bandele, are also set to bring the heat.
