The Super Falcons will be the first Nigerian team to use the new Nike kits in a competitive game when they play Mali in an Olympics qualifying match on May 9 in Abuja.
Mohammed Sanusi, general secretary of Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), disclosed this when he visited the team at the FIFA technical centre, Abuja training pitch.
He then charged the team to help push the Nike brand.
“I urge you to be disciplined and desist from acts that will bring problem between Nike, our new kit sponsors and the federation,” he said.
“I must say here that one of the problems we had with Adidas was because some players were not respecting the terms of the contract. I urge you to assist the NFF in every contract we enter into.”
Sanusi also implored the Super Falcons to better their previous outings at the World Cup by going far in Canada.
“We have confidence in your capability to take on the best teams and come out victorious,” he said.
“You must break that jinx of not doing very well at this stage by making discipline at training and matches your focus. The NFF will support and motivate you to achieve your target.”
