The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has secured a multi-year kit sponsorship agreement with Adidas, valued at $8.5 million annually. This deal, which includes $4.5 million in direct annual cash and $4 million in equipment, marks the conclusion of an 11-year partnership with Nike.

Outgoing NFF President Ibrahim Musa Gusau announced the agreement in Abuja, noting that previous terms were insufficient for the financial and logistical needs of the national teams. The transition to Adidas is scheduled to begin in 2027.

Following the confirmation of the supplier switch, concept designs for the Super Eagles' 2027–28 away kit have emerged, featuring geometric patterns inspired by traditional Nigerian textiles and the Adidas Trefoil logo.
