In a heartwarming tale of faith and perfect timing, BetKing has announced the first winner of its major campaign for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations. Samuel Dairo, a Nigerian whose dream of international travel was patiently held for years, is now set to witness the AFCON 2025 final live in Morocco, all thanks to a ₦5,000 stake.
From a Passport of Hope to a Winning Ticket
The story begins not with a bet, but with a belief. Two years ago, Samuel Dairo took a proactive step towards a future he could only imagine. He applied for and obtained his international passport, despite having no concrete travel plans. It was an act of faith, a tangible investment in a dream that one day, he would see the world beyond Nigeria's borders.
That dream quietly simmered until BetKing launched its nationwide "Feel It First in Morocco" campaign. The promotion offers customers a chance to win an all-expense-paid trip to watch the AFCON Final live by simply staking ₦5,000 on Sports or Virtuals. In the campaign's inaugural draw, Samuel's name was selected, transforming his long-held aspiration into an imminent reality.
BetKing's Campaign: Just the Beginning
Samuel's win marks the exciting start of BetKing's fan engagement drive for AFCON 2025. According to Nengi Akinola, BetKing's Head of Marketing, more winners will be announced throughout the month of December as additional draws are conducted.
"Samuel’s win is only the beginning," Akinola noted, highlighting that the campaign offers multiple opportunities for fans across Nigeria to be selected. The initiative is part of a broader build-up to the tournament, which includes digital fan engagements, watch parties, and community activities.
How to Be the Next Winner
For Nigerian fans dreaming of their own unforgettable experience, the path is straightforward. The campaign requires a minimum stake of ₦5,000 on Sports or Virtuals on the BetKing platform. With draws ongoing, the window of opportunity remains open for others to join Samuel on this historic journey.
As excitement for AFCON 2025 sweeps across the continent, Samuel Dairo's story serves as a powerful reminder. It shows how preparation, hope, and a bit of fortune can converge to make a dream take flight. For Samuel, the countdown to Morocco in January has definitively begun.
