Lucozade Sports drink was launched into the Nigerian market in with a commitment to support the development of indigenous football league.

Prior to the advent of Lucozade Sport drink into the Nigerian market, consumption of sports drink amongst the local clubs were virtually non-existent. The use of energy drinks, which are not suitable for use by professional athletes, was more readily consumed.

There was also little or no formal education on professional sports nutrition and how it can help participants’ performance.

Lucozade Sport has changed the game. The awareness of the importance of nutrition for professional players is on the increase.
