Moffi set for Porto debut as club legend sends message ahead of Sporting clash

Super Eagles striker Terem Moffi is expected to make his debut for FC Porto against Sporting Lisbon in the Portuguese league.

Moffi joined Porto on a loan deal from French Ligue 1 side OGC Nice during the winter transfer window.

The 26-year-old last made a competitive appearance in November 2025 for OGC Nice.

Ahead of the highly anticipated clash, former Porto striker Tiquinho Soares has urged Moffi to stay calm and enjoy the occasion.

“The advice I give him is to enjoy the game. It’s such a big clássico—just enjoy it,” Tiquinho was quoted as saying by Portal dos Dragões.

“I wish him good luck, that he can have a good debut and that FC Porto can come away with the victory, which is the most important thing. And may that number 29 jersey bless him, may he score many goals and bring much joy to everyone at the Dragão Stadium.”
