The Nigeria national U-20 team would be the first to dorn the
country's new jerseys at the FIFA World Cup in New Zealand next month
after American sportswear company Nike agreed to take charge of kitting
Nigerian male and female teams until 2018.
Nigeria's previous contract with German giants Adidas ended in
December after the company decided not to renew due to contractual
disagreements.
Nike will design performance and training apparel, and equipment,
including team kits and footballs, for the Nigerian national football
team players at every level of the game. There will be an
exclusive-edition team kit for all NFF teams until the 2016-17 kit
launches in mid-2016. In addition, Nike will design an assortment of
products for Nigerians to show their support for the national team, to
be available from mid-2016.
At yesterday's ceremony in London, NFF President Amaju Pinnick said,
"This exciting partnership with Nike signifies our commitment toward
building and strengthening a successful football future in Nigeria. The
game enjoys a huge following across the country and we want to fuel
participation and ultimately the success of our future national teams."
