Ola Aina reveals reasons for wearing sagging shorts

Nigerian international and Nottingham Forest defender, Ola Aina, has opened up about his habit of sagging his shorts during football games.

Aina, known for his strong presence on the pitch, has often been seen with his shorts sitting lower than usual, a style that has sparked curiosity among fans.

Sagging of shorts in Nigeria often refers to the practice of wearing shorts or trousers below the waistline, often revealing a part of the underwear or, in Aina’s case, sitting loosely around the hips.

While many might assume it’s a fashion statement, Aina revealed that his reasons are far more practical.

“Yeah, that’s, from young I’ve always been doing that. And it’s not for fashion or anything, there’s a reason towards that,” Aina said in an interview with Fanstribe released on Wednesday.

“You see this man?” he added, pointing at his thighs, “The size? And the one behind,” he continued, gesturing towards his buttocks, “It’s too big, so the shorts, it always goes up, you know, and it’s too uncomfortable.”

Aina went on to clarify that he chooses larger shorts to avoid the discomfort.

“So that’s why it’s always loose, so I take bigger shorts, you know, and this is why,” he said laughing

“Exactly, now you guys just leave me now,” he added.
