Alex Iwobi Models New, All-Green Super Eagles 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, Complete Sports Nigeria reports.

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 (predominantly green and a single white stripe design) 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.

“@NGSuperEagles  striker @alexiwobi Super pose in our new @nikesoccer home kit. #NGAALG #SoarSuperEagles,” the NFF tweeted on Thursday.

“Our National Team home kits available for purchase at @Nike Shops nationwide. #SoarSuperEagles #NGA.”
