₦50,000

That’s exactly how much it costs to purchase a Sporting Lagos Founding Membership and I’ve just bought one. It took me two months of work to earn and save to purchase it but I think it’s worth it.

I became a founding member because of Sporting's founder, Shola Akinlade. He’s a tech entrepreneur whose other startup, Paystack, got acquired by Stripe for $200,000,000. What’s ₦50,000 not to trust Shola with?

Sporting Lagos will make the Nigerian Premier League cool. See Twitter, they’re the most followed football club in the second division. You’d almost think they’re an EPL club. Pardon my exaggeration.

You may ask: What’s in for a Founding Member?

• Private updates on the progress of Sporting Lagos Football Club and a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to build a world-class team from scratch.
• Many planned events, activities, and deals for Founding members throughout our many journeys to build a legendary football club.

Colour me excited. I can’t wait to go outside, have fun and hopefully meet babes.

hehe.
