Lucky winners of HITV decoders in the Pepsi Football Academy website promotion have been singing the praises of the PFA for offering decoders of the indigenous satellite TV broadcast company to lucky football lovers who have registered their personal details on the PFA website.

Okorie Nwabueze, part 2 student of Zoology, University of Lagos, one of the lucky winners, hinted that he did not believe he could win something as valuable as a satellite decoder simply by visiting the Pepsi Football Academy website.

Another lucky winner, Olayinka Adebayo, a computer Engineer with NOIC Gbagada, claimed that the whole development of being able to win something from the website promo started making sense to him when he received a text message congratulating him and inviting him to the presentation ceremony at Lagos Airport Hotel.

Speaking at the occasion, Yinka Akintola, Marketing Services Manager of the Seven-Up Bottling Company Plc, said that "as official sponsor of the African Cup of Nations, Pepsi are constantly exploring ways in which more fun and enjoyment of the game can be created for football lovers towards continuously igniting the football passion of Nigerians."

In all, five HITV decoders were won through a draw and presented at the event.
