When the largest club fixture in football begins, ‘Odogwu’ will be giving the vibrant Afrobeats vibes to millions of fans.

“Being a passionate football fan myself, I know it doesn’t get any bigger than the UEFA Champions League!” stated the ‘Last Last’ blockbuster global hit producer in response to the development. That’s why I’m thrilled to be playing on the Pepsi stage at this year’s championship.

“Music and football are the ideal combos, so you already know I’ll be delivering the vibes and making magic in Istanbul. The world is not prepared for what we have planned.”

“The UEFA Champions League Final Kick Off Show is a crucial component of our collaborative efforts with Pepsi, giving an excellent opportunity to reach new and younger audiences with some of the biggest names and rising talents in music,” said UEFA marketing director Guy-Laurent Epstein. We’re thrilled to present a strong lineup of artists at this season’s Final in Istanbul, in what is sure to be an enthusiastic and memorable performance.”
