The Nigeria national team are ready to play on the Uyo field against Algeria in their new Nike designed shirt for the 2018 World Cup Qualifiers.
In 2015, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) signed a sponsorship deal with the kitting outfit and the players are set to debut the kits during the weekend.
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.
The new Nike designed Nigeria home jersey.
The home kit is a solid green shirt, with white ribbing around the back of the modern crewneck collar featuring Nike’s Dri-FIT technology.
Nike’s Dri-FIT technology draws sweat away from the body to the exterior of the shirts and shorts, where it quickly evaporates. This allows players to perform at their best by remaining cooler, drier and more comfortable.
And Arsenal’s Alex Iwobi , a Nike athlete is looking forward to wearing the new kit against the Greens in Uyo.
“Looking forward to playing in our new kit against Algeria on Saturday,” he tweeted.
