The senior male national team, the Super Eagles, will this Saturday unveil the new Nike jersey when they clash against Algeria in a world cup qualifier.
Although the Jersey is a replica of what was used at the Rio Olympics by the bronze winning team, it was not official then being that the Olympics football event was not recognised by FIFA and as a result it did not carry the logo of the Nigeria Football Federation.
The all-green jersey has a white collar with the Nike logo on the right chest area with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) badge on the left featuring Nike’s Dri-FIT technology.
Nigeria’s youngster Alex Iwobi confirmed his readiness to put on the kit for the Saturday cracker by tweeting “Looking Forward To Playing In Our New Kit Against Algeria On Saturday. #NaijaBrilliance #BIG17”
The new kit is part of Nike’s responsibilities in accordance with a deal they signed with the NFF in April 2015.
The deal will see Nike kit Nigeria football national teams till 2018 or beyond.
The NFF signed a three-and-half -year contract with Nike in 2015 that will see the US-based sportwear giant provide products worth $3.75m.
Nike’s Dri-FIT technology allows players to perform at their best by drawing away sweat from the body to the exterior of the shirts and shorts, where it quickly evaporates and makes players remain comfortable.
