From streets to neighborhoods and even campuses, local football viewing centers are very common in Nigeria. These centers provide live European and continental matches ranging from the English Premier League, Laliga, Serie-A and the UEFA Champions League. National team events such as the FIFA World Cup, the EUROs and AFCON are also shown live by connecting to a satellite link via decorders. Different individuals from diverse backgrounds come together at a viewing center to support their clubs and throw banters and mild jabs at opposing fans. Some people who have access to these matches in their homes prefer to come to the viewing center which acts as a makeshift mini-stadium. I was once at a viewing center during the finals of one UEFA Champions League when one guy wanted to disconnect his charger from the extension wire. This led to the Television/Decoder cord to be disconnected and the live feed was lost. The guy was almost lynched! Share your experience from a football viewing center.

I no dey miss viewing center especially when Chelsea dey win. During that UCL final, Daddy Enoch go buy fish roll and/or doughnuts for everybody wey dey there and if e reach your hand, drink dey. Another thing wey I like be the bants wey dey fly anyhow if teams lose but the viewing center wey I dey go, almost everybody dislike Man. Utd. CC. Fergie001, Chikason22, Gbest90, Openmine, Lamasta, Crazygod, et al |

Blake755:True. Watching at home is boring even if I increase the volume of my home theatres. Watching at the viewing centre gives me so much joy. |

One of my sweetest experience in a football viewing centre is watching the Liverpool vs Barcelona second leg game in which Liverpool won 4 - 0. One thing that made this experience interesting for me was that the viewing centre was partly filled with my Muslim brothers that came with their band that's normally called bandiri if am correct You need to see how the viewing centre was turned to a bandiri playing centre in which everybody that supported Liverpool turned choir that night as in ehn its one match experience I can never forget so easily as Liverpool was giving us joy with their goals those guys with their bands too were entertaining us with their song also to the extent those barca fans were almost shedding tears at the viewing centre.......That night cannot be forgotten so soon abeg ![]() |

EbukaHades10:No mind them.....I think in 90% viewing centres, United is most hated because Nigeria is dominated by Chelsea fans. These days, Man U fans dey use livescores first update before we moveeeeeeee ![]() |
| Re: Share Your Experience(s) At A Football Viewing Centre by Omicron007(op): 9:39pm On Jan 18, 2022 |
fergie001:lols. Man U also has a very huge fan base in Nigeria |
| Re: Share Your Experience(s) At A Football Viewing Centre by fergie001: 9:44pm On Jan 18, 2022 |
EbukaHades10:Make una leave am for us......na by force? This last Villa match, I went to viewing centre after using livescores to see United leading 1-0...Fernandes scored the second goal and I was shouting...Bring Bayern..bring Bayern....bring them on....76+, they brought on that useless Coutinho....See Baptism of Fire. Omicron007:Chelsea fans no allow us see road but we will deal with them...all na time |

Blake755:I remembered one game like that.....United v Liverpool! As Liverpool was winning during half time, some of their useless fans, went to buy crate of malt, and told me to take as much as I will finish and share the rest for my fellow "zebra-compatriots." I cram that guy face......I have told him I will equalise, Only Time. |

If fans never shout Dem Don Dey Go...One by One for you while your team is loosing and you are attempting to go outside, then you don't know what patience, endurance and long-suffering means. That few minutes is hell. |
