Global sports kitting outfit adidas has informed the Nigerian Football Federation that it will no longer be kitting its national teams. Adidas has been the official kitting outfit for the Nigeria national teams as well as partner of the NFF and will remain so until the contract expires at the end of the year.
A letter to the federation, dated August 12, 2014 reads..."Adidas has conducted an analysis of its football partnerships and related businesses. Based on this evaluation and in combination with the recent correspondence between the parties, we regret to inform that adidas has decided not to extend its partnership with the Nigeria Football Federation as per the end of the Agreement (i.e 31 December 2014)." In light of this, the NFF will have to search for another global brand for the national teams.
Adidas was NFF partner when Nigeria won the 1994 Africa Cup of Nations and first FIFA world cup appearance in the same year.
