Victor Boniface of Union Saint-Gilloise has been named Europa League Player of the Week by UEFA. The 22-year-old Nigerian forward beat off competition from Paulo Dybala, Bruno Fernandes, and Edmond Tapsoba for the honour.
Boniface earned the recognition after an impressive performance against Union Berlin in the round of 16 first-leg tie. He bagged two goals in the match, taking his tally to five goals in seven appearances in the Europa League. In all competitions this season, he has now scored 19 goals.
Boniface has been in scintillating form for Union Saint-Gilloise since he joined the club in 2018. He has quickly established himself as one of the best players in the Belgian Pro League, and his recognition by UEFA is testament to his hard work and dedication.
Victor Boniface’s achievement is a source of great pride for Nigeria’s footballing fraternity, and his success is sure to inspire more Nigerians to take up the game and reach for the stars. We congratulate Victor Boniface on his well-deserved Europa League Player of the Week award.
