General Secretary NFF, Dr. Mohammed Sanusi told players of the Super Falcons they would be the first to don the new Nike kits and not the Flying Eagles as was early reported by the sports kit makers.

According to the NFF African champions, Super Falcons will be given the honour of being the first team to use the new kits in a competitive game when they lock horns with Mali in an Olympics qualifying match on May 9 in Abuja.

Sanusi said: "I urge you to be disciplined and desist from acts that will bring problem between Nike, our new kit sponsors and the Federation. I must say here that one of the problems we had with Adidas was because some players were not respecting the terms of the contract. I urge you to assist the NFF in every contract we enter into."

The NFF will be supplied kits worth the sum of $1million in the year 2017 and 2018.

There are also various bonuses specified for any of the National Teams that qualifies for major international championships, with the Super Eagles to earn up to the sum of $500,000 at the 2018 FIFA World Cup finals in Russia.
