Boga and Moffi Put on Leave After Fan Assaults at OGC Nice

Both forwards are on medical leave after lodging police complaints, with Nice publicly condemning the training‑ground confrontation.

Overview

  • Around 400 supporters confronted the team at the training center after a 3-1 loss at Lorient, with some boarding the bus before Jérémie Boga and Terem Moffi were punched, kicked and spat on, according to multiple reports.
  • Moffi received one week of sick leave and Boga five days, and both filed complaints with local police on Monday as authorities declined public comment.
  • Sporting director Florian Maurice was also targeted, while goalkeeper Yéhvann Diouf helped Moffi reach safety, and other players criticized perceived security lapses.
  • In a statement, OGC Nice condemned the incidents as unacceptable and said several club members were attacked, offering support to those affected.
  • French outlets including Nice-Matin and RMC report that Boga and Moffi no longer wish to play for the club and are seeking exits as the team reels from six straight defeats and sits 10th in Ligue 1 and bottom of its Europa League group.
