Long before his Champions League glory with Arsenal and Inter Milan, Nwankwo Kanu announced himself to the world as one of Africa's most gifted forwards during France '98. This Nigeria National Team jersey, designated match issued for the 1998 FIFA World Cup, captures the Super Eagles at the height of their continental dominance.

 

Bearing the iconic green colorway with official FIFA World Cup France 98 tournament lettering and the Nigeria Football Association crest, the home model jersey has Kanu's name and #4 on the reverse. It was made by Nike (size L tagging) and prepared for the tournament, showing minimal wear. Kanu would go on to win the UEFA Champions League that same year with Inter Milan, but it was France '98 that introduced him to the global stage. A compelling piece of World Cup history from one of Nigeria's most beloved sporting exports. Includes LOA from MEARS.
