Igoh Ogbu wearing the iconic Nigeria 1996 Super Eagles jersey at Slavia Praha training ground
The AFCON 2025 set of the Super Eagles continues to show not just quality on the pitch, but deep passion for Nigeria and immense pride in representing the green and white.
The wave of Naija Vintage is sweeping through European football, and Slavia Praha defender Igoh Ogbu is the latest Super Eagles star to proudly carry the flag — in style.
The 25-year-old centre-back turned heads at Slavia Praha’s training ground after arriving in the iconic Nigeria 1996 Olympic gold-winning jersey, recently recreated during AFCON 2025.
The vintage kit, famous for its bold green wing-inspired design, remains one of the most sought-after football jerseys in history, regularly ranked among the greatest kits ever made.
But Ogbu didn’t just wear the jersey — he embodied its spirit.
In a moment that instantly won hearts, the defender broke into the classic Super Eagles anthem as he made his way to the pitch, lifting the mood of teammates and staff alike.
“Eagles carry go, NFF shine your eyes o, na winning we dey.
Who no know go know, Super Eagles carry go.”
The chant echoed with pride, nostalgia, and belief — a reminder of Nigeria’s rich football heritage.
Ogbu joins a growing list of Super Eagles stars bringing Nigerian culture into their European club environments.
Just days earlier, Fulham and CAF Best XI defender Calvin Bassey went viral after returning to training in the same legendary 1996 jersey, also singing the old Super Eagles anthem in London.
The trend reflects a powerful connection between the current generation and Nigeria’s golden football era — a signal of renewed unity, confidence, and national pride within the Super Eagles camp.
Ogbu’s infectious energy follows a successful AFCON 2025 campaign in Morocco, where the Super Eagles finished third, returning home with a bronze medal.
The Slavia Praha defender was a key part of the squad, delivering composed and commanding performances throughout the tournament.
He featured prominently in wins over Uganda and Algeria and played a vital role in Nigeria’s defensive resilience during the dramatic penalty shootout victory over Egypt, where the backline held firm for 120 minutes without conceding.
Now firmly established as one of the most consistent African defenders in Europe, Ogbu’s latest vintage moment has only strengthened his bond with Nigerian fans.
More than fashion, the jersey symbolises belief, history, and continuity — a reminder that today’s Super Eagles carry the legacy of those who came before them.
From Kaduna to Prague, from Atlanta ’96 to AFCON 2025, the message is clear:
Naija no dey carry last.
