Super Eagles striker Terem Moffi endured a shocking attack from a rogue section of OGC Nice supporters on December 1, 2025. The 25-year-old forward, alongside teammate Jérémie Boga, faced physical violence at the club’s training center. Angry fans gathered to protest Nice’s dismal form, turning the demonstration chaotic.
Around 400 supporters assembled outside the facility. They demanded explanations from players and staff amid the team’s slide to 10th in Ligue 1. Moffi and Boga became primary targets. Witnesses reported fans spitting at them, slapping their faces, and delivering blows. The assault left both players shaken.
Moffi and Boga immediately sought medical attention. Doctors placed them on sick leave to recover from the ordeal. The duo filed formal police complaints against unidentified assailants. Authorities launched an investigation into the incident.
OGC Nice condemned the violence swiftly. Club officials issued a statement labeling the acts unacceptable and vowed full cooperation with law enforcement. They emphasized player safety and promised enhanced security measures at future sessions.
The protest stemmed from Nice’s poor run. Franck Haise’s side suffered six consecutive losses across competitions. This streak frustrated fans of the INEOS-owned club, which aimed for European spots.
