Called ‘The Unmissable Match’, it took place at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo with 30,000 fans in attendance. It’s every football fan’s dream to see legends of this caliber back in action, and Okocha didn’t disappoint as he showed off the skills he’s famous for.

The Spanish legend was the captain of the Chairman team, which played against the Shine Shine Bobo team, led by Okocha. Although Okocha had former players like Daniel Amokachi, Austin Eguavoen and Uche Okechukwu on his team, the one-hour match ended 5-2 in favour of Puyol’s side.
