Very few footballers are as loved and revered as the former Spanish Number 5. A Magician and a “Wall” on the pitch, Puyol had the world at his feet for most of his illustrious career.

The tour will be a three-day experience that will feature exclusive encounters in Lagos and Uyo and an unmissable match to be played by select consumers and the Spanish superstar, Puyol.
