According to a report online, Super Eagles players refused to exchange their jerseys with their Malian Counterparts after Friday friendly match in France because they lack enough kits.
The Malian players were reportedly shocked when the Super Eagles rejected overtures for them to swop jerseys after the match in Rouen.
According to the report online, It was later gathered that Nigeria do not have enough kits which was why they could not exchange jerseys as they were required to wash their jerseys and wear it for the next game.
“There are not enough kits for the team and so it’s wash your jersey and wear it for the next game for the Super Eagles,” a source who was at the game said.

Last year, a rushed sponsorship with Nike meant the equipment suppliers had to reproduce the kits they designed for Saudi Arabi for three-time African champions Nigeria.
Nigeria U23 coach Samson Siasia described his team as "wash-and-wear" during last year's U23 AFCON in Senegal as they battled for kits for the Rio Olympics qualifiers.
Both officials of Nike and NFF had promised newly designed kits for the Eagles in February, but this has yet to happen many months later.
