Nigerian fans on social media platform, X, have teased the Ghanaian national team over their arrival outfits for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast, reports.
The Black Stars, led by captain Andre Ayew, were photographed posing in white short-sleeved shirts with matching shorts, while the shirt-pockets had different designs.
Some Nigerian fans took to social media to laugh at the Ghanaian players, saying their jerseys looked like prison uniforms, while others called them “herbalist sidekicks.”
This is no surprise as there is a long-standing rivalry between the Black Stars of Ghana and the Super Eagles of Nigeria.
