The Nigerian national football team is reportedly switching to Adidas kits from 2027, following concerns over governance and World Cup failures. The move comes amid a series of controversies surrounding the leadership and performance of the team.
According to Vanguard News, the switch to Adidas kits is part of a strategic decision aimed at improving the team’s image and performance on the international stage. The team has been struggling in recent tournaments, including the 2026 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup where they lost to Spain 2-0.
The announcement comes after the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) named a new interim leadership team amid ongoing governance issues and World Cup failures. The switch to Adidas kits is seen as part of a broader effort to address these concerns and improve the team’s reputation on the international stage.
