On 30 April, the second edition of the MSport Football Challenge took place. The motto of the event, which was held at the Campos Memorial Stadium on Lagos Island, was “Road to Final 2023”. Here, MSport customers from Nigeria competed for the main prize of one million ₦. Between the end of May and the beginning of June, Europe’s top five leagues ended their 2022/2023 seasons.
Ahead, MSport wanted to give something back to the tipsters with the MSport Football Challenge. The participants showed their determination, zeal, perseverance, and passion. Previously, they were paired into duos.
Many duos received jerseys of Borussia Dortmund and other prizes
Before the Duo Speed Dribbling, the most exciting part of the event, the competition started with the Duo Juggle Challenge. Afterwards, the participants first took part in the Superkick Challenge aka Duo Cross Bar Challenge. Then, the grand finale took place.
Here, the duo that previously were victorious in the Duo Cross Bar Challenge duelled in a one-minute clash. Each MSport Nigeria user alternately challenged the other. Finally, Ojedele Abiodun, who scored the most goals in his attacking moves, emerged as the winner. Additionally, those duos who prevailed at the various stages of the MSport Football Challenge received jerseys of the German partner Borussia Dortmund.
Furthermore, the participants could assess their knowledge about MSport. They answered questions about the registration process, the various games, MSport betting and depositing. Afterwards, they received rewards for the correct answers. Thus, the event offered football enthusiasts in particular the opportunity to experience the brand and exchange ideas with like-minded people. Moreover, the MSport Football Challenge 2.0 under the motto “Road to Final 2023” underpinned the will to offer new opportunities to the youth in Nigeria and cross-nationally in Africa.

Alice is half Austrian and half Italian. That's why she experienced the 1990 World Cup in Italy at first hand. And that awakened her enthusiasm for football. Since she has loved writing since childhood, Alice began to study journalism while still at school. It was very convenient for her that her class took part in a project of a German daily newspaper. She was also allowed to write for the children's pages of an Austrian daily newspaper and to get a taste of the sports department of the same medium. This is how she received her first press accreditations, which was of course anything but a matter of course for the then 18-year-old.
Although she was partly advised against it, Alice decided to study journalism and communication sciences. After a few years, she decided to use the exams she had taken as an elective. Nevertheless, she applies the knowledge she has acquired in her further professional life. The same applies to her language skills. In addition to her mother tongues German and Italian, Alice is also proficient in English and Spanish. She also understands French and can use this language in research.
During her studies, Alice was involved in an Austrian football club. At the same time, she wrote for a total of three Austrian portals and worked as an Austria correspondent for an Italian-language online medium. This collaboration started during Giovanni Trapattoni's era at Red Bull Salzburg and continued during EURO 2008. This gave her the opportunity to interact with Trapattoni as well as with Italian journalists.
From the following year, Alice initially worked with a Swiss portal before discovering sports betting content for herself. On the one hand, this kept her in sports journalism, and on the other, it broadened her horizons. And that both in the context of the sports betting industry and with other sports as well as countries. In the field of sports journalism, she focused in particular on football from around the world, volleyball and beach volleyball.
In addition, she naturally wrote several guides, bookmaker profiles, bonus articles and other content for betting enthusiasts. She did this for the same company for about ten years, writing articles in German and Italian. She also built the Italian-language website together with the managing director. Meanwhile, Alice started working with another Austrian football club. Furthermore, she joined the Association Internationale de la Presse Sportive (AIPS) in 2016. This gives her the opportunity to watch teams and athletes on the ground relatively often.
Not only sports betting, but also radio
In January 2019, the next step in her professional development followed. For: she started creating premium content on the topic of sports betting. In the process, she finally put out feelers to almost all countries and all continents. And this was not least due to the fact that both German and English-speaking users subscribed to her content. Nevertheless, Alice continued to use her knowledge of Italian, among other things. On the one hand, because she regularly exchanges ideas with Italian colleagues, and on the other, because she works with a web radio station.
The Corona crisis had a strong impact on the sports world and on interest in sports betting, primarily in the early days. Therefore, a fresh start was necessary and, on balance, Alice found the fields of activity that suited her best. She also writes articles for an agency on almost all disciplines as well as on eSports and content for a German online medium.
