Terem Moffi, the Super Eagles forward, has emphasized the fierce competition for attacking positions in Nigeria’s national team, stating that only players consistently performing at their peak can earn regular selection. His comments came after Nigeria’s commanding 3-0 victory over Jamaica in the Unity Cup final at The Valley in London, a win that allowed the Super Eagles to successfully defend their title. Moffi, who recently lifted the Portuguese league title with FC Porto on loan from OGC Nice, expressed pride in his recent successes, highlighting that winning trophies in quick succession has significantly boosted his confidence and motivation.
Speaking to Molatsportgist following the match, Moffi said, “It feels great winning a title again. My first one was two weeks ago and another one today. I feel really proud of myself and the team.” Despite these achievements, he acknowledged that he still has room for improvement and is committed to reaching his best form. He stressed that the Super Eagles’ attacking unit features several top-tier strikers, making it essential for every player to maintain high performance levels to remain in contention.
Moffi’s remarks reflect the growing depth in Nigeria’s forward line, a position that has seen increased competition since the emergence of players like Victor Osimhen, Samuel Chukwueze, and others. He made it clear that consistency is the key to securing a regular spot in the national team setup. “Of course you always have to look at ways to improve. I am not at my best, I have to be at a better level. If you want to play for the Super Eagles, we all know we have top strikers, so you have to be at your best continuously,” he added.
Beyond his international duties, Moffi also reflected on his role with the NPFL side, where he captained the team through a challenging campaign. He praised the collective effort of his teammates, saying, “It wasn’t easy, if I am being honest. But I am proud of the boys, they did an amazing job and enjoy themselves tonight. They should do what they have to do tonight and next year, we will go again.” His leadership and contributions have been instrumental in both club and country, showcasing his growing influence in Nigerian football.
Moffi’s journey from OGC Nice to FC Porto, where he won the Portuguese title, underscores his rising stature in European football. The move came after a dispute involving the club’s supporters, but he has since thrived under the new environment. As Nigeria continues to prepare for upcoming international fixtures, Moffi’s focus on improvement and consistency positions him as a strong contender for a key role in the Super Eagles’ attack. His performances in both club and country will be closely watched as Nigeria aims to maintain its competitive edge on the global stage.
