 Verve, Truecaller Partner for 9th Edition of VerveLife Fitness Experience

Verve, Africa’s leading domestic payment cards and tokens brand, has partnered with Truecaller for the ninth edition of VerveLife, themed ‘Ignite’, as the fitness and lifestyle platform expands its focus to technology, wellness, entertainment and community.

The partnership was announced on Monday, September 29, 2026, and is expected to further strengthen the technology and lifestyle components of VerveLife, described by the organisers as Africa’s biggest fitness party.

According to Verve, the collaboration with Truecaller reflects the evolution of VerveLife from a traditional fitness event into a broader lifestyle platform designed to bring consumers together through wellness, entertainment, technology and shared experiences.

Speaking on the partnership, Executive Vice President, Group Marketing and Communications, Interswitch Group, Cherry Eromosele, said Truecaller’s participation would strengthen the technology and lifestyle dimensions of the ninth edition.

“VerveLife has always been about creating experiences that connect with people beyond the traditional boundaries of a fitness event.

“As we ‘Ignite’ our ninth season and take the experience to more communities across Nigeria, we are delighted to welcome Truecaller to the VerveLife family. Their focus on trusted communication and digital experiences complements our ambition to bring together technology, lifestyle, wellness and community in ways that are relevant to our audience,” Eromosele said.

VerveLife 9.0 has already held events in Ikorodu, Ibadan and Enugu, with additional experiences scheduled for Surulere and Uyo before the grand finale at the Eko Convention Centre in Lagos on November 21, 2026.

The Country Manager, Nigeria, Truecaller, Ogochukwu Onwuzurike, said the partnership would enable the company to engage consumers through a platform that combines active living, technology and community.

“Truecaller is pleased to partner with VerveLife 9.0 and connect with a community that values active living, shared experiences and meaningful connections.

“VerveLife provides a unique platform where technology, lifestyle and community blend seamlessly together, and we are delighted to be part of that experience. We look forward to engaging with consumers in new and relevant ways while celebrating the connections that matter in everyday life,” Onwuzurike said.

The 2026 VerveLife programme will culminate in Lagos with a two-day experience on November 20 and 21.

Day one will feature a ‘Train the Trainer’ session and an industry-focused mixer, while day two will offer fitness activities, an obstacle course, masterclasses, a kiddies’ corner and appearances by fitness personalities and trainers.

The second day will conclude with an exclusive after-party.

Another major feature of VerveLife 9.0 is the ‘Road to VerveLife 9 Stage’, a pan-African competition designed to provide fitness trainers, dance instructors, aerobics coaches, yoga and Pilates instructors and other fitness enthusiasts with an opportunity to earn a place on the VerveLife stage.

With activities continuing across different locations in Nigeria, the partnership with Truecaller adds to VerveLife’s growing network of collaborations as the platform builds towards its Lagos grand finale.
