The fans, who included the young and old alike started streaming in from as early as 8am eager to take a picture with the global icon.

With the weather permitting, the football enthusiasts lined up in their numbers and were led to a hologram where they took instant souvenir photos. They were also given free merchandize to take home during the day-long event that had lots of entertainment. Performances led by Kenyan rap artist Octopizzo, Wyre, Jaguar, P-Unit, Size 8 and 2014 FIFA World Cup anthem artist, Brazilian David Correy were part of the highlights of the day.
