Before 1949, Nigerian footballers mostly played barefoot in local competitions. But during their historic tour of the UK that year, the Nigerian team - nicknamed the "UK Tourists" - wore boots for the first time in a match against Marine Cosby in Liverpool. Despite the new experience, they impressed the British public and helped open doors for Nigerian football on the global stage. That moment marked the beginning of Nigeria’s journey in international football, and we’ve never looked back! 🇳🇬 #didyouknow #anfassc #footballhistory #naijaspirit #supportourown #authenticsupport
