Nigerian footballers Terem Moffi and Moses Simon have made headlines yet again, this time for their remarkable performances in Ligue 1, earning them nominations for the prestigious Marc-Vivien Foe award.

Moffi, showcasing his prowess on the field, reached a significant milestone by scoring his 50th Ligue 1 goal during OGC Nice’s recent match against Nantes, despite the team's 2-1 defeat.

His impressive tally of 10 goals in 23 appearances for Les Aiglons this season has undoubtedly caught the attention of football enthusiasts.

Meanwhile, Moses Simon, though sidelined due to a season-ending ankle injury sustained during international duty last month, has left his mark on the league with three goals and six assists in 22 league outings for his club. His influential performances before the injury underline his importance to the team and his potential to compete at the highest level.

Both Moffi and Simon aspire to join the ranks of esteemed Nigerian players who have previously clinched the Marc-Vivien Foe award, such as Vincent Enyeama and Victor Osimhen. Their nominations reflect their dedication, talent, and impact in the French top flight.

Among the other nominees for the award are renowned African football stars like Gabon’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Algeria’s Nabil Bentaleb, and Morocco’s Achraf Hakimi, among others. The winner of the Marc-Vivien Foe award will be revealed on May 13, eagerly awaited by football fans worldwide.
