The Nigeria Football Federation will on Thursday unveil the new jersey of Nigeria’s National Football teams, which will also serve as the official jersey of the Super Eagles at the 20th FIFA World Cup finals taking place in Brazil this summer.
The new and refreshing design is produced by adidas, the official kit supplier of Nigeria’s national teams and the leading kit manufacturers in the world.
Minister of Sports and the Chairman of the National Sports Commission, Alhaji Bolaji Abdullahi, will be special guest of honour at the event slated for the front area of the Sunday Dankaro Football House, Package B of the National Stadium Complex in Abuja from 10am.

The NFF President, Alhaji Aminu Maigari, will have the compliment of members of his Executive Committee, as well as NFF Management led by the General Secretary, Barrister Musa Amadu.
The Assistant Coach of the Super Eagles, Daniel Amokachi, will represent Coach Stephen Keshi, who is already in the United States preparatory to next Wednesday’s friendly against Mexico in Atlanta.
“There is a uniqueness about the new jersey that Nigerians will love. The design is a top-of-the-range thing, especially for the Fifa World Cup in Brazil,” Amadu said on Wednesday.
