The National Sports Commission (NSC) and sportswear giants, PUMA are set to consolidate on a long-term collaboration following Team Nigeria’s heartwarming performance at the ongoing 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
Speaking at a media briefing at Team Nigeria PUMA Afrobeat House here in Glasgow on Wednesday night, Director General of the NSC, Hon. Bukola Olopade, said that the experience the Commission has had with PUMA as Team Nigeria’s official kit sponsors for the Glasgow Commonwealth Games, has been very positive and progressive and that the Commission is ready for a long-term partnership with them.
The DG said the impressive pre-tournament preparations that Team Nigeria athletes enjoyed heading for the Games wouldn’t have been very impressive if not for partners like PUMA.
“For us at the NSC, our intentions were deliberate from when we took over. And looking at the entire gamut of sports, the President of Nigeria, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR, had given us the mandate to create an ecosystem that is driven by the economies of sports.
“And we are happy to have PUMA by our side who believed in us and together we can even achieve more for Nigeria ahead of other major international competitions like the Olympic Games”.
