Why Team Nigeria wore tracksuits to 2016 Rio Olympics opening ceremony

Team Nigeria marched with tracksuits at the opening
ceremony of this year’s Olympic Games, because the official
kits did not arrive in Rio on time.

According to Alexander Wolff, a Sports writer covering the
Games, “Nigeria, marching in sweats because official outfits
didn’t make it to Rio. Can we agree that they’re a country to
pull for these two weeks?”

Team VI, who touched down in Manaus, Brazil just seven
hours before their opening game against Japan.Nigeria’s preparation for the competition, has been riddled
with logistic and financial challenges
