NFF congratulates Simon on Ligue 1 milestone

In their 1-1 draw with Angers, Simon picked up his 150th cap in Ligue 1, setting up his side’s only goal scored by Johann Lepenant.

That assist was his 29th for the club, making Simon the top contributor for Les Canaris in that department, breaking the record previously held by Emiliano Sala.

The NFF was one of several stakeholders of world football to have felicitated with Simon, which the football body did on its official Instagram page on Wednesday in a post that read, “Congratulations to our very own super star Moses Simon on reaching 150 games in Ligue 1. Keeping soaring, Super Eagle.”

Simon has spent his entire Ligue 1 career with La Maison Jaune, originally coming on loan from Spanish side Levante in 2019 before moving permanently to the Atlantic coast.

The Nigerian helped Les Canaris win the Coupe de France during the 2021-22 campaign. On Tuesday, the official Ligue 1 X (formerly Twitter) account celebrated Simon’s achievement, calling him “indispensable.”
