Tiger Beer has unveiled a bold new campaign that takes football back to its roots in Nigeria, combining street passion with big rewards.
The Tiger Street Football (TSF) tournament will celebrate the raw, high-energy version of the game played in school fields, open spaces, and neighbourhood corners, with a prize pool of ₦10 million up for grabs in each region.
The top team will claim ₦5 million, the runners-up ₦3 million, while the third and fourth-placed sides will receive ₦1 million each.
But beyond the cash prizes, Tiger says the campaign is about courage, creativity, and community — giving everyday players the chance to shine on a stage that feels closest to home.
Tiger is shifting the focus from professional footballers to champion rising and undiscovered talents.
This initiative highlights the people who keep the game alive daily — from aspiring young players chasing a breakthrough to workers who gather for five-a-side matches after work.
“Tiger Street Football is not just about football. It is about the people. It is about recognising talent, celebrating community, and giving Nigerians a platform to shine where football feels most alive — in the streets. Tiger is a brand built on courage, and we see that same spirit every time someone steps onto the pitch to play,” said the Portfolio Manager for Premium Beer at Nigerian Breweries Plc, Maria Shadeko.
The competition will follow a five-a-side format, played the “Tiger way” — bold, thrilling, and unapologetically street.
Teams must have at least five players, including a goalkeeper, with a maximum of eight. All participants must be 18 years or older and not registered with any professional football club. Registration is to be completed by team captains at www.tigerstreetfootballng.com.
Awka will take the spotlight with registration drives, penalty shootouts, and knockout matches leading up to the Awka TUX Semi-finals and Finals.
The Tiger Uncage Experience (TUX) will run in tandem with the games, featuring art, music, street food, and fashion to create a vibrant cultural showcase.
Guests will enjoy street foods and Tiger drinks from the mobile bar, express themselves through fashion, capture moments at photo booths, and experience live painting and other artistic showcases.
For players, the campaign offers both fun and recognition. For fans, it highlights football’s true beauty — its power to unite communities. For Tiger Beer, it is a way to reward consumers by being part of everyday life — on the pitch, in the streets, and afterwards, when people gather to relax and share a drink.
By bringing the game back to the streets, Tiger Beer is creating more than a tournament. It is a celebration of courage, community, and the untamed spirit of Nigerian football. And with millions of naira at stake, unforgettable memories are waiting to be made.
