Nike is set to reintroduce the iconic Nigeria 1996 kit in 2026 to mark the 30th anniversary of the Super Eagles’ historic Olympic gold medal triumph in Atlanta. The release will honour one of the most celebrated moments in Nigerian football history, when Nigeria defeated Argentina in the final. The revived jersey is expected to be a faithful, one-to-one recreation of the original Nike-made home shirt worn by the team during the 1996 Olympic Games.
Adding to the excitement, Nike has released a new advertisement featuring Jay-Jay Okocha, a standout member of the gold-winning squad, further fuelling speculation about the upcoming release. However, official images of the 2026 remake home kit have not yet been unveiled.
The Nike Nigeria 1996 remake home jersey is expected to launch in spring/summer 2026. It is anticipated to be available both with Jay-Jay Okocha’s iconic number 10 and in a version without a squad number.
