Findi’s former club Real Betis have paid special tribute to The popular manga character which takes centre stage following a limited-edition collection for fans of the Green and White stripes and Japanese culture.

Real Betis, the Spanish club where Nigerian football legend Finidi George starred in the late 1990s, have unveiled a limited-edition Naruto-themed jersey in collaboration with technical sponsor Hummel.

The €90 design merges the club’s green-and-white identity with the iconic manga character, celebrating its second Real Betis Week in Tokyo as part of global expansion efforts.

The jersey features Naruto Uzumaki prominently on both the front and back, with his emblem on the sleeve and the Naruto Shippuden logo on the upper back.

The asymmetrical sleeve design, white on the right with a green cuff, and vice versa on the left, adds a dynamic touch, while Hummel’s chevrons follow the contrasting colour scheme.

Only 845 units are available, priced at €90 for adults and €85 for children.

Sales are restricted to the European Union, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Switzerland, with purchases via Real Betis’ online store or physical outlets at Benito Villamarín Stadium and select shopping centres.

The jersey’s exclusivity and cultural crossover have sparked excitement among fans and collectors.

With larger sizes already sold out, it’s poised to become a treasured item for both Betis supporters and anime enthusiasts.

“Real Betis is more than a football club, it’s a symbol of resilience and identity,” noted club spokesperson Juanma Portillo, reflecting the ethos behind such innovative collaborations.

Meanwhile, while the jersey focuses on Japanese pop culture, it coincides with renewed attention to Finidi’s impact at Betis.

This Finidi George special celebration remains why Real Betis fans will never forget him.

The former Nigerian winger and Super Eagles coach, who remains the club’s only African legend honoured on its Legends Wall, is celebrated for his electrifying performances and trademark hat-wearing celebrations during his 1996–2000 tenure.
