When Arsenal delivered a stunning 4–0 victory, M.I’s Lagos home transformed into something special, a reflection of shared success. Between the laughter, tactical debates, and smooth pours of Chivas 12 – the night embodied the Chivas belief that success is best enjoyed together.
The evening’s signature cocktails, including The Regal Sunset, The Martini Royal, and Chivas Free Flow, elevated the experience into something more: a celebration of craftsmanship and culture.
Reflecting mid-toast, M.I shared: “For me, football has always been about connection, the people, the energy, the culture. That’s the Chivas way too; it’s about rising together, not alone.”
As Arsenal sealed their fourth goal, M.I raised his glass one final time: “To football, to culture, and to the Chivas spirit – I Rise, We Rise.”
The night captured everything Chivas Regal stands for; ambition, and collective success, defining what football can look and feel like with close company and lovers of football: refined, connected, and full of heart and this journey doesn’t end here. A few days later, M.I was recently spotted at the Emirates Stadium in London, joining fellow Chivas ambassadors Do2dtun, Efa Iwara, and Excel Joab inside the Chivas Box at the Emirates for another unforgettable matchday as Arsenal faced Crystal Palace. Together, they brought the Chivas message from Lagos to London, where football, heritage, and culture rise as one.
Because at Chivas, it’s never just about the game, it’s about the blend. It’s about the spirit that connects with football fans; win or lose, when one team rises, we all do – I Rise, We Rise.
