Peak Milk, the official milk of the Super Eagles, hosted a special breakfast for the team in Uyo on Saturday to celebrate their 2-1 win over Madagascar. The event, held at the Four Points by Sheraton camp in Ikot Ekpene, brought together the 24 players and technical crew for a morning of nourishment and camaraderie. This gesture is part of Peak's long-standing tradition of supporting the Super Eagles through significant moments.

The breakfast activation provided the players with a range of Peak dairy products, reinforcing the brand's commitment to nourishing and supporting the team. Super Eagles Captain Wilfred Ndidi expressed gratitude for Peak's enduring support, stating that these moments bring him joy. He thanked Peak for the gesture, emphasizing that the support means a lot to the team as they strive to deliver victories to Nigerian fans.

Head Coach Eric Chelle welcomed the activation as a timely boost ahead of Nigeria's crucial AFCON 2027 qualifier against Guinea-Bissau. Chelle appreciated Peak for organizing the event and for continuing to stand behind the team. The breakfast comes as Nigeria seeks to build momentum in the AFCON qualifying campaign following their hard-fought win over Madagascar.

Omolara Banjoko, Marketing Manager at Peak FrieslandCampina WAMCO, explained that the Peak Breakfast was designed to nourish the players while reinforcing the positive atmosphere in camp. Peter James, Category Brand Manager for Peak, noted that the activation aimed to create a connection with the players beyond the football pitch, celebrating their victory and encouraging them as they continue their AFCON qualification journey.

Peak has a long history with Nigerian football, dating back to 1998 when the brand supported the Super Eagles on their journey to the global football finals in France. The brand was also part of the Eagles' memorable 2013 Africa Cup of Nations triumph in South Africa and has remained closely associated with the national team through successive generations.

Friday's victory over Madagascar was particularly memorable, with debutants George Ilenikhena and Moses Usor scoring for Nigeria. The occasion also marked Moses Simon's 100th appearance for Nigeria, providing another fitting reason for celebration during Saturday's Peak Breakfast. The win earned Nigeria three valuable points in their AFCON 2027 qualifying campaign.

As the Super Eagles look ahead to their next challenge against Guinea-Bissau, the team remains grateful for Peak's consistent support. With this breakfast activation, Peak has once again demonstrated its commitment to the team, nourishing their passion and encouraging them as they strive for success in the AFCON qualifying campaign and beyond.
