Nando's Brings Soccer Vibes to America with 'Saka Sauce'

Nando's, renowned for its flame-grilled chicken and strong cultural following, is set to elevate the soccer experience in the U.S. this summer. Just in time for one of the biggest soccer tournaments of the year, the brand is introducing its much-anticipated 'Saka Sauce', a collaboration with English soccer star, Bukayo Saka.

The 'Saka Sauce' has already garnered attention, having sold out multiple times in the U.K. due to its unique blend of flavors that combine Saka's favorite ingredients with the well-loved PERi-PERi kick that Nando's customers adore. To mark this launch, Nando's is celebrating by hosting various events designed to bring fans together to enjoy soccer in a lively environment.

Exciting Rollout Events

Kicking off the celebration is the first-ever Free Chicken and Chips Day on June 12th, where soccer fans donning their jerseys can receive a complimentary meal at any Nando's location nationwide. This offer is valid between 5 PM and 8 PM, embracing the soccer spirit and welcoming fans to indulge in Nando's signature dishes alongside the new sauce.

For those looking for a community experience, Nando's will be transforming select restaurants into Watch Party Hubs in cities like Dallas, Atlanta, Chicago, and Washington D.C. from June 17th to June 27th, offering a vibrant atmosphere complete with live music and exclusive tastings of the 'Saka Sauce'. Fans will be able to gather and cheer for their teams while enjoying delicious food and dynamic performances from local DJs.

Moreover, from the week of June 22nd, The Chicken Response Team will be surprising fans across Washington D.C. with unexpected visits from a specially branded Nando's Mini Cooper, offering free match-day meals and 'Saka Sauce'. Fans can even use social media to request visits, making the experience interactive and special.

The Man Behind the Sauce

Bukayo Saka, one of England's promising football talents, has been a fan of Nando's since his childhood in West London. His involvement in creating the 'Saka Sauce' reflects his personal connection to the brand and his love for vibrant flavors. Combining his go-to flavors of tomato and BBQ with the spicy PERi-PERi heat, the sauce is set to impress many food lovers in the U.S.

"Creating this sauce was an incredible experience for me," said Saka. "It's exciting to see it launching in the U.S. during such a significant time for soccer, and I can't wait for new fans to try it."

Embracing Soccer Culture

Nando's has positioned itself as not only a restaurant but a cultural hub where food, sports, and community intersect. According to Yasmin Grant, Head of U.S. Marketing at Nando's, the brand aims to enhance the soccer fandom experience with unforgettable flavor and community events.

The 'Saka Sauce' is now available at participating Nando's locations across the U.S. This is a fantastic opportunity for fans to enjoy delicious food, exciting soccer festivities, and the chance to experience the unique flavors crafted by Bukayo Saka himself.

As soccer fever grips the nation, Nando's is geared up to provide a taste of both culinary excellence and cultural celebrations, making it the go-to destination for soccer fans this summer.
