Subsequently, additional prizes draw will be held weekly in agents’ shops and online. At the end of the tournament, there will be a draw to select the winners of the JAC S2 SUVs.

Former Super Eagles Captain and BetKing brand ambassador, Austin ‘Jay-Jay’ Okocha who was at the event stated that as a football junkie and with the mouth-watering prizes, there was no better time to be a punter.
In a statement, Gossy Ukanwoke, managing director, KingMakers, explained that the AFKON Promotion with the tagline: “That AFKON feeling, that’s BetKing” incorporates the BetKing brand while paying tribute to the football tournament, African football stars, and BetKing customers.
“We have replaced the ‘C’ in AFCON with a ‘K’ in our campaign. This is a deliberate move to celebrate the tournament which is undoubtedly the ‘King of all tournaments in African football’ that showcases the biggest stars from around the continent who are the ‘Kings of African football,’ and we are rewarding the biggest supporters of the sport, our customers, who are ‘Kings,’” he said.
