Super Eagles Unveil New Jersey

 

Arsenal star Alex Iwobi has modelled the new Super Eagles strip the team will formally unveil on Saturday when they face Algeria in a World Cup qualifier in Uyo. Although the all-green jersey was used by the U-23s at the Rio 2016 Olympics in August, it was not properly launched.

Even after the new strip made its debut in Rio, the Eagles and other national teams reverted to the old jersey for subsequent matches, including Super Eagles' Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Tanzania in September.  However, the Nigeria Football Federation are now ready to properly launch the new strip and Iwobi, 20, has been chosen as the face of the new design. 

The NFF tweeted on Thursday “@NGSuperEagles  striker @alexiwobi Super pose in our new @nikesoccer home kit. #NGAALG #SoarSuperEagles. Our National Team home kits available for purchase at @Nike Shops nationwide. #SoarSuperEagles #NGA.”
