The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is in negotiations to renew their kit supply deal with sportswear manufacturers Nike with a deal expected to be announced in two weeks according to the President of the federation Amaju Pinnick.
Mr Pinnick claims the NFF has been a discussion with the American kit manufacturers over a long-term deal.
“We are trying to renew our contract with Nike,” Pinnick was quoted by Busy Buddies. “We had a meeting then I put Seyi Akinwumi, Shehu Dikko and the general secretary online and we had a two-hour session with Nike in London.
“We are still brainstorming and within two weeks we are thinking of signing a new contract with Nike, so we are working religiously towards that.”
The previous $3.75m three and half year deal signed with the sportswear makers in 2015 will expire at the end of this year.
Under the terms of that deal, Nike paid the NFF $750,000 in 2015 and a further $1m in each of the years between 2016 and 2018.
The previous deal covered the supply of performance and training kits to all nine of the NFF teams at every level including men’s and women’s senior teams, men’s and women’s U-20, U-17 and U-23 teams and the men’s beach soccer team.
