Former Super Eagles captain John Obi Mikel has added another trophy to his collection after leading Team Mikel to victory in the PlayStation Cup held during the 2026 UEFA Champions League Festival.
The Nigerian football legend announced the triumph on social media shortly after the tournament, celebrating the achievement with his teammates.
“We are the PlayStation Cup Champions! Team Mikel came to compete and left with the trophy,” Mikel wrote on his official Instagram account.
The competition, organized as part of the activities surrounding the UEFA Champions League final, brought together teams featuring football legends, content creators, and invited participants in a unique PlayStation-branded event.
Images shared by Mikel showed Team Mikel posing with the trophy on a podium carrying both PlayStation and UEFA Champions League branding, confirming their success in the tournament.
Mikel, one of Nigeria’s most decorated footballers, enjoyed a distinguished playing career that included winning the UEFA Champions League with Chelsea in 2012, two Premier League titles, and the Africa Cup of Nations with Nigeria in 2013.
The former midfielder remains a popular figure among football fans and continues to participate in high-profile football events around the world following his retirement from professional football.
