Fans of Nigeria’s Super Eagles will finally get to see their beloved team in their new kits during the World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and the Benin Republic this June.

Nigeria to debut new kits in World Cup qualifiers

The Super Eagles are set to don their 2024 kits, which launched in March but have not been used to prosecute national team matches until now.

Nigeria played against Ghana and Mali in March friendlies but wore the jerseys from a previous collection during the matches against their continental rivals.

The white home kit with green trimmings and the word “NAIJA” emblazoned on the front, which serves as the home will debut against South Africa in Uyo.

With only two points from their opening two matches in World Cup qualifying, Nigeria will have to improve their form to stand any chance of making the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
