Beyond sponsorship, the company also aims at making Africans aware of the importance of practicing sports in order to have a healthy lifestyle.

“It is very important for Prudential not only to do business in Africa but also to promote ideals that will enable the continent to accelerate its development. Among these ideals we have, among other things, the practice of a regular sporting activity which allows you to always be in good health,” Nick Holder added.

This perspective, he noted, will not just stop with the AFCON but will continue with many other major sporting events in Africa that will allow Prudential to promote these ideals of well-being and health.
