Home shirt as worn during Nigeria’s 2002 FIFA World Cup campaign and the 2004 African Cup of Nations (AFCON). Representing one of the most iconic periods for the Super Eagles, this jersey is synonymous with Jay-Jay Okocha’s dazzling skills and leadership.

At the 2002 FIFA World Cup in Japan and South Korea, Nigeria competed in Group F, known as the "Group of Death," alongside Argentina, England, and Sweden. Despite valiant efforts, the Super Eagles were eliminated in the group stage. Okocha's creativity and flair stood out as he led a young squad in the tournament.

In the 2004 AFCON, Nigeria reached the semi-finals, showcasing a mix of experienced stars and emerging talent. Okocha was instrumental in guiding the team, scoring crucial goals and earning widespread praise for his performances. The Super Eagles eventually secured third place, defeating Mali in the play-off.
