“As the official beer partner of the Uganda Cranes, we are sending out a rallying cry to not only our consumers but to all the fans to Unite behind the Cranes as they take to the continental stage in the biggest football tournament in Africa,” said Nile Breweries Marketing Director Majok Amou, who added that as a brand that is truly made of Uganda, Nile Special will always celebrate anything that makes us proud as a nation.
At the same event, Nile Special also launched an under the crown promotion through which 11 lucky Cranes fans will be flown to Egypt to watch the team live in action.
To take part in the promotion, one is required to buy a Nile Special, check under the crown and SMS the code to 8008 and enter the draw for a chance to win.
