Leading sportswear manufacturer, Nike is the new technical sponsor to the Nigeria Football Federation, supporting all national team levels and grassroots development.
Nike and the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) have announced a new partnership in which Nike, the world’s leading football brand, is designing and developing football kits for the men’s and women’s national football teams of Nigeria from April 1, 2015, until at least 2018.

SIGNING: NFF President, Amaju Pinnick (l) signs the dotted lines with a Nike representative in London on  Thursday.
Nike is designing 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.
The Nigeria under-20 men’s team will be the first team to don the new Nike kit at the under-20 football tournament to be hosted in New Zealand from May 31.
“We are very pleased to partner with the Nigeria Football Federation, one of Africa’s premier teams,” said Laurent Payre, Nike Africa VP / General Manager. “The passion for football in Nigeria is renowned and Nike is committed to supporting and advancing the game at all levels through inspiration and innovation for young men and women.”
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.”
The partnership includes the following elements: supplying performance and training kits to all nine of the Nigeria Football Federation teams at every level, including the men’s and women’s senior teams, men’s and women’s under-20 teams, men’s and women’s under-17 teams, men’s and women’s Olympic teams, and the men’s beach football team.
Nigeria joins Nike’s portfolio of federation sponsorships including Australia, Brasil, England, France, the Netherlands, Portugal, South Africa, South Korea, the U.S. and others.

I just hope Keshi and some of his players won't begin to flout the rules by wearing another kit apart from Nike.

This was what Adidas complained about before terminating their contract with NFF. I hope we have learnt our lessons.

This is great! I just read about this deal on Nigerian news today on www.naij.com. And i like that Nike is the sponsor, not Adidias or something else. BUT, Nigeria Fottball Federation spokesman did not confirm information about Nike. So there is chance, that new sponsor can be Adidas.
