This is Naija: A Nigerian Football Story - Trailer ─ Nike Football

The Super Eagles are on a mission to bring Naija to the world. Naija? An unbridled, optimistic, confident approach to football--and to life--that sets Nigeria apart. Wherever you travel in this diverse country of over 500 different ethnic groups, it is football that serves as a universal language, the connective tissue, that unifies this land, and drives the spirit, belief and the energy of Nigeria today. From the streets, to the clubs, to the markets, to the pitch, from the energy and chaos of Lagos to the wooded savannas of Abeokuta, the football not only the rhythm, but pulse of Nigerian culture. Featuring conversations with Segun Odegbami, a star of the 1980 Nigerian Africa Cup team, and current Super Eagle players like Odion Ighalo and Wilfred Ndidi, it taps into the unbreakable confidence of a team, and a country, who are ready rule the football world for years to come.
