Ajibade eager to play in new World Cup kits

By Daily Sports Nigeria on April 7, 2023

Super Falcons forward, Rasheedat Ajibade, in a post says she is looking forward to wearing the newly designed jerseys for Nigeria’s women’s team at the 2023 Women’s World Cup, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.

Nike, the kits manufacturer of the country’s national teams, on Monday, unveiled the Falcons jerseys.

The home and away uniforms that the former African champions would wear when the Women’s World Cup begins on July 20 in Australia and New Zealand were made public and shared on the Super Falcons and the Nigeria Football Association social media pages.

The light green — jersey, short and socks — is the home uniform, while the home kit jersey and short is black, with designs all over, and red socks – a brand-new addition to the Nigerian outfits for the first time in the country’s football history, since the men’s national team, known as the Red Devils before Independence, was renamed the Green Eagles on attainment of self-rule.

Expressing her fondness for the kits, the Atletico Madrid player on her Twitter handle wrote, “Can’t wait to play in this new kit.”

Also, Barcelona striker, Asisat Oshoala, offered her opinion on the jersey manufactured by Nike.

With a picture of the outfits, she simply wrote, “Lit”.

Randy Waldrum’s ladies are in Turkey for exhibition games in preparation for the World Cup.

The nine-time African champions will today come up against Haiti at the Emir Sports Complex in Antalya, Turkey, before taking on World Cup co-hosts New Zealand at the Mardan Sports Complex, also in Antalya next Tuesday.
