Moffi said “football in Africa is the second religion.
“The Lorient striker went further to say: “In Africa, we love football. In Nigeria, football brings people together. When the Super Eagles play, the whole country becomes one. Everyone unites to support the national team.”

Moffi dreams of being a part of the Super Eagles squad to the 2022 AFCON in Cameroon and revealed dreams of featuring in the UEFA Champions League and winning an international trophy.
“As a young footballer, you do not end your career in Lorient. FCL is a launching pad for my career; I want to play in the Champions League, I want to win as many trophies as possible. I want to represent my country at CAN and the World Cup. If I really want to dream without limits, the goal would be to win an international trophy.” Terem Moffi
