SCORENigeria can report today that acute shortage of training kits has hit the Super Eagles camp in Abidjan and as a result the country’s top stars, who most ironically have been ranked as the most valuable of the entire AFCON tournament, have now been forced to wash their kits every day.
It was gathered that each player has only been given one set of training kits, unlike previous major tournaments.
This has meant that the players have to scramble every day to the laundry to ensure they are kitted for training.
“We are back to the era of wash-and wear,” one very angry player told SCORENigeria
“My training kits are fading and peeling because I have to wash them after every training.
“At the previous AFCON in Cameroon, we got three sets of the training kits.
“We have complained about this problem, but it has not been addressed.”
Besides the training kits, the players have to also make do with limited house wear kits, while they were not supplied canvas shoes, bags and backpacks.
Nike is the official kit sponsor of the Super Eagles.
In 2022, it extended its sponsorship with the NFF till December 2026.
This story is fake and reeks of bad journalism. Calls were made to Kenneth Omeruo and Iwob by a seasoned journalist to verify this exclusive of yours, and both players denied it.
