Moses Simon, the Nigeria and Nantes star, is making waves in Ligue 1 this season. According to Soccernet.ng, the talented winger has been nominated for the prestigious 2025 Marc-Vivien Foé Award, given to the best African player in France’s top division.
With an impressive seven goals and eight assists in 25 league appearances, Simon has been crucial to Nantes’ attack. His contributions have accounted for nearly half of the team’s goals, showing his immense influence on the field, despite the club’s struggles this season.
This nomination marks Simon’s fourth time being shortlisted for the award, after previous nominations in 2020, 2022, and 2024. He’s now aiming to become the third Nigerian to claim this honor, joining the ranks of Vincent Enyeama, who won it in 2014, and Victor Osimhen, who took home the prize in 2020.
The Marc-Vivien Foé Award, named in memory of the late Cameroonian footballer, is highly respected in French football. The winner is decided by a panel of over 100 journalists, and the award celebrates African excellence in Ligue 1.
Simon is part of a competitive group of 12 nominees for the 2025 prize. Among the others vying for the award are Achraf Hakimi from Morocco, Evann Guessand from Ivory Coast, and several other standout players from Africa. The winner will be announced later this year.
As Simon’s name continues to make headlines, hopes are high for another Nigerian star to follow in the footsteps of Enyeama and Osimhen. Will Moses Simon take home the Marc-Vivien Foé Award this year? Time will tell.
