The announcement was made on the team’s X handle on Monday, shortly after the squad’s failure to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The home kit features a vibrant light green base with darker green panels and a subtle dotted fade pattern, accented by the Nigeria Football Federation crest and the Nike swoosh.

According to Nike, the design continues the brand’s tradition of street-ready kits that make a statement off the pitch.

The away kit showcases a clean white base with dynamic green flame motifs across the front, back, and sleeves.

It is complemented by a dark green shallow V-neck collar and black-trimmed cuffs.

Nike highlighted that both kits are made with performance fabrics using Dri-FIT technology and incorporate sustainable materials.

The men’s jerseys are priced at £109.99, while the kids’ versions are available for £84.99.

The launch coincides with Nigeria’s preparations for a four-team friendly tournament against Jordan, Iran, and Costa Rica.

Despite featuring stars such as Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman, the Super Eagles were eliminated from the 2026 World Cup qualifiers after a penalty shootout loss to DR Congo in the CAF playoff final.

Pau Cubarsí tops the current Golden Boy Award 2026 standings ahead of teammate Lamine Yamal and Real Madrid’s Yan Diomande

Barcelona defender Pau Cubarsí is currently leading the 2026 Golden Boy Award race, according to the latest standings released by Italian sports newspaper Tuttosport, with teammate Lamine Yamal in second and Yan Diomande third.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported on Tuesday that Cubarsí is currently ahead of the field as the voting process continues, with the final vote still expected later this year.

Yamal’s second-place position comes with an important caveat. The Barcelona forward cannot win the award again this year because he previously claimed the Golden Boy prize in 2024.

The 2026 race is still open, with Tuttosport continuing to update its rankings before the final voting stage.

The award is presented to the outstanding young player in European top-flight football and is decided by an international jury of sports journalists.

Cubarsí’s position reflects his growing reputation at Barcelona. The defender has become an increasingly important figure for the Spanish club and has already collected major honours during his young career.

Diomande’s presence in third also underlines the strength of this year’s field.

The Real Madrid youngster is among the 100 players initially shortlisted for the 2026 award, with the list due to be reduced to 20 finalists before the winner is selected.

The Golden Boy has a distinguished history, with previous winners including Lionel Messi, Wayne Rooney, Erling Haaland, Kylian Mbappé, Jude Bellingham and Yamal.

For Cubarsí, however, the immediate task is to maintain his advantage. With the decisive voting still to come, the Barcelona defender has emerged as the early favourite, but the final outcome remains open.
