The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), has appealed to well-meaning Nigerians and corporate bodies for financial support as the country prepares to take on Algeria in a 2018 World Cup qualifier next week.
The Super Eagles, who currently top their group with three points, host the Desert Warriors on November 12, at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo.
General Secretary of the NFF, Mohammed Sanusi, speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), called on concerned citizens to come to the federation’s aid.
“Logistics have been put in place,” he said.
“I don’t want to begin to itemise the challenges of the football house but I will not fail to remind Nigerians the popular saying that good soup depends on financial input.
“In that light, we are appealing to both individuals and corporate organisations to come to the aid of the football federation in the areas of funding and sponsorship.
“It is very important and if we have sufficient fund, it will ensure that all logistics arrangements are taken care of; we need money to perfect what we are putting in place for the match”, he added.
The new Super Eagles jerseys for the 2024–2025 football season have been unveiled by clothing powerhouse, Nike.
Nike’s Instagram page published a post on Monday with a launch video of the new jerseys.
“The 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 𝑵𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒍 𝑻𝒆𝒂𝒎 𝒌𝒊𝒕𝒔 disrupt convention with bold twists on icons.
“Featuring 𝑫𝒓𝒊-𝑭𝑰𝑻 𝑨𝑫𝑽 innovation, each kit is engineered for the needs of the modern footballer, from kick-off to the final whistle,” the post read.
Green hoops at the ends of the sleeves and shorts adorn the white home jersey. In a striking combination of colours, the word “Naija” is written in green across the kit’s breast.
In a stylistic nod to Nigeria’s national colours, the away uniform is patterned in a pastel version of the same colour, dark green.
For their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign, the Super Eagles are anticipated to wear the new jerseys.
The team’s third qualifying match is scheduled for June 3 at home against South Africa. Seven days later, they are scheduled to travel to Benin Republic.
Before that, the Eagles will visit Grand Stade de Marrakech in Morocco for friendly matches against Ghana and Mali on March 22 and 26, respectively.
