Nigeria international Terem Moffi and his OGC Nice teammate Jérémie Boga have taken formal steps to end their contracts with the Ligue 1 side following a violent confrontation with supporters late last year. The duo were attacked by angry fans at Nice’s training ground in November 2025 after a 3-1 defeat to Lorient. Reports said the supporters physically assaulted the players, hitting, kicking and spitting on them in the aftermath of the loss. According to Get French Football News, both players were targeted over separate incidents that sparked outrage among sections of the fanbase. Moffi, a former Lorient player, was seen laughing with Lorient president Loïc Féry on Ligue 1 Plus after the match, which marked Nice’s sixth consecutive defeat in all competitions. Boga also came under fire after inviting Olympique de Marseille fans to the Allianz Riviera ahead of Nice’s heavy 5-1 home defeat to their rivals, an action for which he later apologised. Neither Moffi nor Boga has featured for Nice since the incident. L’Équipe reports that the players have now officially initiated the process to leave the club. “Since the incident, Boga and Moffi have been unable to return to first-team training,” Get French Football News wrote. “Their initial sick leave period was meant to last around one week; however, it has been repeatedly extended. The two Nice players have also opened legal proceedings against the alleged perpetrators of the violence on November 30. The players’ lawyers have now moved to see their contracts terminated, on the basis that the necessary measures to ensure their security were not taken by the club.” The report added that a meeting with the league’s judicial commission is scheduled for Thursday. Moffi and Boga are both contracted to Nice until the summer of 2027. The 26-year-old Moffi recently returned from injury after being sidelined since October and has featured in 10 matches this season, scoring two league goals.
